Week 2 has been interesting for me with the short video by David White discussing the use of mapping with regard to visitors and residents. Using these terms I probably use the internet mainly as a visitor, since the internet as a search tool for information is valuable both socially and for my voluntary activities. My Facebook account is mainly private, mainly used for family and friends. I also belong to a private family group where we share pictures. The only posts which I make public are those where I am inviting people to events in my church, for example the Scottish Dance Group which I lead.In addition I belong to three local groups for the purpose of posting invitations to my services and other events, such as the Dementia Awareness afternoon I will be hosting next week in the chapel. When I am visiting these pages usually weekly, I 'like' posts of other positive events taking place in the area.Since I am aware of the potential for written information to be misconstrued, I tend to keep comments on other people's posts rather short. David White's idea of visitors and residents I found to be an appealing description of the levels of social engagement online.
Thanks for your contribution. For me it is also important to keep separate private and public online profiles. I'm glad you found this week interesting :)
