This was an instant messenger social media where I would chat with my friends online since none of us had phones. It was not a negative experience since many people used it as gossip space. In my life now, social media serves a purpose to learn from other people.]]> 2018-08-08 19:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397180 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397222 My first social media experience was on Snapchat I can't really remember and I just got it because all my friends were getting it and I wasn't allowed to have Facebook.

My first social media experience was on Facebook. I actually was not allowed to have a Facebook at the time via my parents, however, I made one anyway and hid it from them, HA! I basically just used it to talk to my friends from school and post silly things from my life. 
3. Now, I use mainly Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook to keep up on my friends and family and for them to follow me as well! I post a lot about travelling, how my school is going, and any other life updates that I want to share with them.]]> 2018-08-08 19:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397223 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397243 My First experience with social media was using facebook. I started to use facebook to share pictures with friends and talk to friends somewhere other than on the phone. I joined it because everyone was starting to get one. This is different to how i use social media now because i mainly use it to connect with those i need to connect to for school, my sorority and to look for jobs. ]]> 2018-08-08 19:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397243 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397276 My first social media experience was with Facebook. I joined in 8th grade because all of my friends had Facebooks and they made events on it. I used it to talk to my friends and post pictures. 

Social media in one word: connection

My main use for it was to write cheesy things on peoples walls and starting poke wars.
2. Since then I have not changed the platforms I use much, I still use exclusively Facebook, but at this point it is just for the purpose of talking with other people and staying up to date on current events

One word that describes the purpose of social media to me is Connection. I have been able to keep in touch with people that live in different states and share my experiences with them. Over the years, I have switched to using snapchat the most and really using Facebook only for photography storage.]]> 2018-08-08 19:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397315 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397464 My first experience with social media was MySpace. It was quite difficult at first considering I was a 6th grader, and my parents had no idea what it was. However, when I really began enjoying social media was when I made a Twitter account. Super fun and low-key way to express yourself.]]> 2018-08-08 19:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397464 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/x1bedxcr6lvk/wish/272397471 My first social media experience was Facebook. I joined around 6th grade to chat with my friends. I kept updated on what everyone was doing and the pictures they were posting. Now I mostly use snapchat when I need to text a friend whose number I don't have. I don't scroll through my newsfeeds as much as I used to.

My friend social media experience was on Myspace. I joined because all my best friends had a Myspace and I wanted to be able to talk to them online. I used Myspace to talk to my friends, look at other peoples profiles, and decorate my page. 

2. Now I use social media to see images of what my friends are doing and share brief comments with them. I no longer use social media to have full blown conversations with my friends.
