Hello, my name is Bailey and I am in my fourth year in Psychology. I am currently working at WorkSafeBC for the summer and have to use all kinds of tools such as microsoft office (excel, word, powerpoint). My tiktok for you page has recently been filled with hacks and shortcuts for these products which has been really helpful in my new role. It is interesting to see things online that you never knew about that can make your day to day life that much easier. In an educational space, I think social media is very helpful to find group members, share ideas from a social media platform (e.g. an instagram video), and overall stay connected when working in a group. For example, last semester I added my group members on instagram and we were able to send each other ideas for our presentation whenever it was convenient, rather than waiting until we met up to share ideas. This saved a lot of time. Regarding my digital identity, I am able to understand what is appropriate to share as anyone can search up your name. I like to share my life on social media, therefore I ensure my accounts are always private so employers or other important people cannot see everything about my personal life. However, I did just make a LinkedIn profile where I can display the professional side of me. That’s something I really like about social media – that I can showcase the different parts of me depending on what platform I am using.
