Positive Social Media Posts

Reflection

I can identify risks and appreciate benefits associated with personal and public digital footprints. When making this project I was able to research and learn about what benefits can come from posting on social media to show who I am. Through these fake Instagram posts I shared about my passion for art, and my drive to learn new things and ways of displaying my talents. Along with the benefits we learned about the risks that could come from posting online, such as rejection from schools, becoming unemployable, and creating a false and negative view of yourself and/or others. We practiced creating positive posts that don’t risk privacy, and aren’t seen as negative in any way. My post above is an example of a Instagram post which is safe from risk, but paints me in a good light.

Core Competency Reflection

I can identify my strengths and identify my potential.
I chose this because I demonstrated my strength in arts, through this post I have shown my potential as I was new to this medium of creating and I feel as though I am already proficient in it.

I can develop a body of creative work over time.
I chose this because my social media post shows that if I am given time I can create a body of creative work. I created this poster in a short time span after just learning how to use photoshop.


I can tell what is important to me and I can explain my values.
I chose this because I feel my posts (not just this post) show how much I value my time being productive. That I value the outside world and time with friends and family and fitness, this is shown in my reels and Instagram stories.


I can understand that learning is continuous and my identity will continue to evolve.
I know that when posting my identity will change and I may start to disagree with previous posts. Being aware of this will allow me to think carefully about what I am posting.

Goal
I can identify my strengths and identify my potential.
I hope to work towards improving this as I still struggle seeing my potential in other aspects of life. I tend to limit myself to what is comfortable unless pushed.
