In this Blog post I will be showing/analyzing the use of social media by people who are prominent professionals in my field. I have selected one author from my last blog post to look at from a social media point of view.
1.What is the name of the author (from the academic journal) that you selected and which social media networks were you able to find her/him on?
Cathy Cavanaugh
You can find videos of Dr. Cavanaugh on youtube but she does not appear to have an account.
2. How would you describe the author's social media presence? What kinds of things are they talking about or sharing on social media? Write a brief description of what you learned about them through the listed social media feeds.
All of her social media is VERY business oriented. Her twitter is used to share scholarly articles. Her tweets contain links and headlines but no pictures or conversations. She has few followers for being as prominent in her field as she is. Her LinkedIn account is well done and very full, she has lots of education and experience and her LinkedIn makes that very apparent.
3. How does their persona on social media differ from their persona in the pages of the academic journal?
In the academic Journal Cavanaugh talks about art and its use in special education but there is no mention of art on her twitter feed or LinkedIn. She is definitely more of an educator than anything else. She also shares articles that are not about education but are about other topics related to schooling and public issues. The writings shared are not always her own.
