6 Tips for Social Media Newbies
- Ed Week
A road trip involves taking a journey without a solid destination in mind. It is usually impromptu and includes stops for exploration, sightseeing, and sharing. Joining in a social media platform is the same type of adventure, opening doors to global opportunities.
Social media is everywhere, according to the latest statistics. While Facebook is the most popular platform—with 1.42 billion users worldwide—Twitter, SnapChat, Instagram, and Kik are moving up fast. Ninety-two percent of teens are online daily, with 71 percent of teens using multiple platforms.
Social media and road trips don’t always follow an itinerary, but a bit of pre-planning makes it a more enjoyable ride. Since nine out of every 10 of teenagers have a social media account, their journey has already begun. If you don’t start, you won’t go anywhere new or catch up. Now is the time to get on the road!
The following six tips will help you avoid roadblocks.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
