  • A Social Media Guide for Farmers
    A Social Media Guide for Farmers Introduction What is social media? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok — “social media” is the collective term for these websites and applications. Unlike traditional media, where a single author or organization talks to a passive audience, social media serves as a place for public conversations between many users. People use social media to share and discuss their daily lives, including their buying habits, with friends and family: it’s online word-of-mouth, available for free to anyone. And just like word-of-mouth, social media can have a huge impact on the success of your business. Why does social media benefit my business? You should care about social media because your customers do. Of all adults in the US, 68 percent use Facebook, and 66 percent of those users visit the site every day. A third of all US adults use sites such as Instagram and Pinterest. Among millennials, over 90 percent regularly use social media. Simply put, the people who will buy from you spend a lot of time looking at social media. You should make sure your business is in front of their eyes. How do I use it? The most important thing to remember about social media is that your business shares the same space as your customers’ friends. Whatever you do must compete with the daily activities and interests of those personal networks. Instead of simply promoting your business, your goal on social media should be to build a community and participate in conversations. People enjoy learning about the day-to-day stories and interests of your business much more than they enjoy advertising.

This book is the first of its kind to take stock of this emerging multi-disciplinary field by synthesizing what we know, identifying what we do not know and obstacles to future research, and charting a course for the future inquiry. Chapters by leading scholars cover major topics – from disinformation to hate speech to political advertising – and situate recent developments in the context of key policy questions. In addition, the book canvasses existing reform proposals in order to address widely perceived threats that social media poses to democracy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Nathaniel Persily is the James B.

  • Title: Expanding the Learning Network: How Teachers Use Pinterest
    1 Title: Expanding the learning network: How teachers use Pinterest Abstract: This exploratory qualitative study of 117 teachers explores how educators engage with Pinterest, an online social networking site, specifically asking (1) What similarities and differences exist in how elementary level pre-service and elementary level in-service teachers engage with Pinterest? and (2) What similarities and differences exist in how secondary level in- service teachers and elementary level in-service teachers engage with Pinterest? Findings indicate teachers at all levels tend to use Pinterest to search for educational resources and adapt resources to suit their classroom needs. Pre-service teachers identify a more complex interaction with Pinterest than in-service teachers when determining quality resources. Findings indicate a need for future research into teacher education practices and the complex interactions pre-service teachers engage in with Pinterest resources. Keywords: teaching, social media, Pinterest, elementary, secondary 2 Introduction to the Problem Social media has impacted nearly every aspect of public life in the 21st century, including education. Some impacts have been decidedly negative such as the proliferation of “fake news” (McGrew, Ortega, Breakstone, & Wineburg, 2017), while others have encouraged positive outcomes for teacher professional learning and advocacy (Carpenter, 2016; Carpenter, Cassaday, & Monti, 2018). Social media platforms, for example, have encouraged teacher collaboration and leadership through informal professional development (Carpenter, 2016; Kerr & Schmeichel, 2018; Scholastic, 2014). These platforms have also encouraged organized teacher protests, as seen in the international Opt Out movements (Author, 2016) or protests for increased educational funding in the United States (PBS NewsHour, 2018). By democratizing professional learning, social media platforms have encouraged communication among teachers regardless of proximity and enhanced their access to curriculum materials (McKnight et al., 2016).
