Hello, everyone. I'm Ms. Yamauchi. We've discussed using social media, so let me tell you how I use Facebook, Twitter and Line.
I used to be more active on Twitter, but now I use Facebook more often than Twitter. I use Twitter mainly for professional purposes, that is, to share recourses and ideas about language teaching and learning, to get the latest information about technology, and to find something interesting. So mostly, I post and check links that I find useful or interesting. On the other hand, I use Facebook for various purposes, sharing my teaching experiences, personal events, and books and comics I love. Also I love viewing great photos my "friends" share.
I use LINE for communication with students, because it's much more popular among students than Facebook or Twitter. One thing I don't like about LINE is that you can't use it on multiple devices, which is really inconvenient for me. I want to use social media on my iPads, Nexus, iPod, and laptop! Still, I'm really happy with LINE calls. It's handy and free, and it's a must while traveling outside Japan.
What about you? Do you enjoy using social media?

I use Twitter and LINE.
ReplyDeleteSharing pictures is so fun!
I like this.
Thanks Takumi for the comment. I like sharing photos a lot too because I really love taking photos^^ What kind of photos do you share?
DeleteFor example,food,animal,etc.
DeleteSounds good. Many people love photos of food and animals, and I do too :-)
DeleteI use LINE and Twitter.LINE is convenient when I talk together more my friends at the same time.It is fun that reading Twitter.Because I like both these social media.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shiori for the comment. I love reading tweets too. Do you use hashtags (with #) to talk to many people on Twitter?
DeleteNo,I don't.
DeleteHashtags are useful when you want to collect and exchange info about a particular topic.
DeleteI use LINE.

Hi Yuuta. So you only use LINE. What kind of photos do you share?
DeleteI share viewphotos.
DeleteGood. I love seeing photos of great views!
DeleteI use LINE.LINE can communicate my friends who are same school students and I usually don't meet.I use it everyday because it's convenient!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ayaka. So you use LINE to communicate with people you know in person. I think that's the right way to use LINE^^ Aren't you interested in communicating with interesting people you haven't met before?
DeleteI don't want to communicate with people I haven't met before.
DeleteI can understand how you feel, and it's important to be careful not to get into troubles. But it's interesting to find "friends" who have much in common.
DeleteI use only LINE. I do not like Twitter and Facebook. There is a possibility that personal information may be disclosed to Facebook.Twitter troublesome.In the first place,I started the line as well, it is reluctantly for use in club activities.I do not want to use social media.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback, Kazuki. Glad to know how you feed about using social media. I'd like to point this out. You can manage what you show in public and what you keep private ^^
DeleteThanks you replay to my text. I am immature mentally. So,I want to do strictly about enough information management.
DeleteI use twitter,LINE and facebook. I just started using facebook.
ReplyDeleteI love it because I think convinient SNS more than email.
But I think SNS can't use business.
Great! Find great people online and share a lot of interesting things with them! Well, many businesses use SNS!
DeleteI use Twitter and LINE.It is fun to associate with a person not to know in Twitter.
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's always fun to find and talk to someone you don't know but have something in common. What topics do you talk about with those you know only on Twitter?
DeleteIt is a hobby mainly.
DeleteI not using social media
ReplyDeleteOh you don't use any social media? If you're interested, you can start using some anytime^^
DeleteI don't have careful.
ReplyDeleteI use only telephone.I don't use social media.
Right... You don't use social media, so you don't have to be careful about what to make public online. Do you use your phone very often?
DeleteI use LINE and Twitter!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you like about LINE and Twitter? I think you use them differently.
DeleteLINE is really convenient.
ReplyDeleteYes, I guess so. Hope the Auto Add Friend option is off.

ReplyDeleteI like comunication.
Good. Who do you communicate with? I think you talk to different kinds of people on LINe and on Twitter.
DeleteI'm using Twitter and LINE now.
ReplyDeleteI can't allow you to find my ID on LINE.
But, you can find my user on Twitter.
SNS is very fun because I can communicate with many people.
Same here. I don't allow people to find me by ID on LINE. When my students want to add me, I switch the option on so that they can use my ID to find me.
DeleteThe protection of personal information is very important.
DeleteRecentry,I am not good when not careful because a leak of the personal information become the problem.
I use Twitter and LINE.
ReplyDeleteThey are very convenience to communicate with other people.
By the way,I have never use Facebook.Because it is no anonymity.
But I heard that Facebook will look good on my resume.So I want to use Facebook in the near future.
Ah you've never used Facebook? I think using real names is one of the good thing about Facebook. People don't do or say bad things when they show their names. Be careful about what to be made public and what to be kept private, and enjoy social networking!
DeleteI use Twitter , LINE and Facebook.
ReplyDeleteIt is LINE to use most.
LINE is very convenient.
