Creating A Framework For Social Media Interactions

Time to take your first steps!

Alright Social Media padawan, it is time to start your journey towards less anxiety and more confidence in your social media interactions with others!  Every journey must begin with a single step, and the moment has arrived for you to take that step.  Are you ready?  Don’t worry!  We will take it together!

And… Step!

Whew!  Good job!  Now, let’s take the second step!  Which is a little more challenging.  But not much!  When you finish this course, you will have done something awesome.  But how will you be able to judge what kind of progress you made?  This is why weight loss programs often encourage participants to take before and after pictures.  So that they can remember where they started, and feel good about where they ended up.

We are all about feeling good!

It is time to take your before and after picture… well, we will save the after picture until the end of the journey… for now let’s just focus on the before picture!

Constructed Social Media Post

Open a blank document somewhere.  This can be on Google Drive, on your computer, or anywhere else where you save important files.  Construct a social media post.  You don’t have to actually post it online, but you can if you really want to.  The main thing is just that you write your thoughts down somewhere and save them for later.  So that you can look at these thoughts again when you complete this course.

Your post should include the following components:

• Explain to your followers why you post the things that you do.  What is your current governing framework for your social media posts.
• Discuss any anxiety, stress, or worries that you may experience surrounding different types of posts.  Talk about why you think you experience those emotions.
• Discuss what values you see in effective use of social media.
• Discuss any drawbacks that you see in the ineffective use of social media.

You will not submit this assignment to us.  This is just for your own personal records.
