Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include…
Keeping a hidden persona on social media. Meaning not posting much but still being able to interact with my peers. It’s good to have a little amount of followers. Sometimes keeping that account on private has its pros. If your account is put on private, that allows the person to befriend people who they know personally. Not everyone you meet online is willing to just be your friend, so if you keep a low profile, you’re still going to be able to achieve that amount of followers and keep a low digital footprint.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are…
Talking online, but still being cautious about what I send. The most common way I contact my friends is through social media. While having that conversation, I always pay close attention to words or pictures II send. To maintain a good relationship with my peers I make sure the things I say are nice, occasionally some words may come out, but to build a deeper bond I try my best to limit those possibilities.
My values around (ex. Achieving high grades in school)… inform my decisions about (ex. How much time I spend on my personal devise engaging in recreational activities)…
While being a high school student has its ups and downs, it’s better to always attempt in trying to maintain a good grade. One of the ways for students to turn in homework on time is to focus on the work. Not so much stuff going on in the social world. Personally speaking, as a student with social media, it’s easy to get distracted and forget about the homework due the next day. It’s great to take breaks once in a while to look at the messages, but to maintain that high GPA being able to focus and pay attention to the work is great support. It’s also healthy to go off a device for a few hours to reconnect.
