Welcome

Effective Use of Social Media for Communications Among Friends and Family

The purpose of my action research is to provide opportunities for experienced social media technology end-users to observe and compare their professional and their private use of social media technology, in order to increase their awareness, frequency and quality, of effective personal communications.

I began by asking what would happen if experienced social media technology end-users were provided a website and tools designed for monitoring and reflecting upon their professional and private use of social media technology?

I hope to demonstrate how I am improving my practice, as well as how I can contribute to the body of literature by providing a website with tools for participants to monitor and reflect upon their effective social media practices, observing how the tools impact participants’ personal experiences with communications among their friends and family.
