@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 Thanks for hosting, y'all!

@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 A4: @carl_young has done work with preservice teachers and Twitter usage. He might have some insights!

@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 A3: There's a quality of the internet being "forever" and the fact that many of us are not tech experts. Easy to stash a hard copy of an artifact in a locked file cabinet in a locked office, but I'm not sure I know what the online equivalent of that is. #visualresearchmethods

@Heather89358317 @EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 Wow. That's interesting. I feel like that really stifles the actual reality of online interaction in some ways. Maybe not problematic in every study, but definitely might be in some, particularly those focused on SM was a medium/space rather than a tool. #visualresearchmethods

@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 A2: Like others, it makes sense to me to do a combined analysis using interviews and content analysis, but I do think there's possibly something interesting in letting images stand purely on their own and sticking with pure content analysis! #visualresearchmethods

[Rachael Debnam-O'Dea @Debnam_ODea]

@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 A2: Only tangentially related, but I'm curious if anyone has collected social media images from public accounts and how that was received by IRB. The internet is the new public square, but I wonder if review boards view it as "public" in the same way. #visualresearchmethods

[Rachael Debnam-O'Dea @Debnam_ODea]

@annafitzhayes @EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 Yeah! We had a chance to make our own masks as facilitators. It was so much fun and honestly required a lot of self-reflection. This is what I made!

[Rachael Debnam-O'Dea @Debnam_ODea]

@annafitzhayes @EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 Oh, good question! We talk about that a lot in class! We're thinking about traditional "selfie values" and then creating masks that (maybe) offer more authentic/disruptive views of ourselves and what's important to us rather than just a happy/stylish face for others!

[Rachael Debnam-O'Dea @Debnam_ODea]

@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 A1: I'm currently working with middle school students on an "unselfie" project, and we're doing a lot of work thinking through self-representation on SM! This is more teaching focused but could see a great research study coming out of it in the future! #visualresearchmethods

[Rachael Debnam-O'Dea @Debnam_ODea]

@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 A1: I could see something interesting in looking at the incorporation of social media texts into the study of rhetoric in high school ELA classes. Make it more relevant and there are clearly rhetorical tools at play! #VisualResearchMethods

@EzinneOfoegbu @tlcoats3 I'm Rachael Debnam-O'Dea, a PhD student at NCSU. I'm focusing on literacy and English language arts, and I'm interested in exploring how visual methods intersect with that broad topic.
