My Interviewees on Social Media

Amazingly it was easier to find my 86 year old teacher on social media than it was my slightly over 60 year old teacher on social media.  You just never know folks.

1)  What are the names of each interviewee and which social media networks were you able to find each of them on?

 *** Please note that I am interviewing professors who are over 60.  They mostly like to communicate through email, snail mail, or phone calls.
  • Michael-- No social media that I could find.
  • Mr. C-- Facebook.

2)  How would you describe each interviewee's social media presence? What kinds of things are they talking about or sharing on social media? Write a brief description of what you learned about them through the listed social media feeds.
  •  Mr. C rarely gets on Facebook (in fact he posted that he only gets on about once or twice a year), but when he does it is often to promote UA Dance or to post about dance events in general.

3)  Now return to the piece that this author published in the academic journal (from Blog Posts 6.2). How does their persona on social media differ from their persona in the pages of the academic journal? Be specific and cite details from both the journal and the social media posts you discovered.
  • Well, I can't say their are a ton of similarities, since Mr. C is writing on Facebook and we are looking at his choreography in the so called "academic journal".  Most of his Facebook posts are casual and have some typos (in part due to his old age with shaking hands and poor eyesight), however, his dances are very polished and nuanced.
