Reviewing My Media Presence
I. Reviewing My Social Media Accounts
Look at each of your social media accounts. Review what you have posted in the past week. If
you do not post often, look back at your most recent posts. What is the overall theme of the
messages you have posted? Did you treat others the way you want to be treated? What do you
think someone considering you for a job would think of your media presence?
After reviewing your social media accounts, how do you feel? Are you satisfied with your media
presence or will you adopt any new guidelines for what you post in the future?
Write a paragraph of at least five sentences reflecting on what you learned and how that will
affect how you use social media in the future.
Actually I don’t post on social media. I usually just look at others post. If I see an unkind or
negative post, I often report it. The only social media I really use on a daily basis is Pinterest and
Tik Tok. It just takes my mind off all the bad going on in the world. Some of the stuff I see on
these social media apps is body positivity and encouragement

II. Reviewing My Use of Technology

In the chart below, log each time you use a form of media, the type of activity, and the start and
end times. If you need more space, add additional lines. Total your time using media each day.
Enter your total times here: Day 1 total: 3hrs 10mins Day 2 total: 3hrs 45mins
After reviewing your findings, write a paragraph describing how you can use this information to
manage your use of technology. Talk about how you feel before, during, and after using
technology. Write at least five sentences.
Before using technology, I don’t actually feel much because I use it for online school. It gets
kind of tiring after a while. During my time using it, I feel kind of proud of who I am because of
the positive I see on social media. After using it, I somewhat feel a little relaxed because I just
got done unwinding from my day.
