摘要
Social media are commonplace in many educators' lives, but their Instagram activities have received no prior attention in the empirical literature. We therefore created and disseminated a survey regarding educators' Instagram use. Analyses of 841 responses suggested participants were generally intensive users of Instagram who engaged in the exchange of both professional knowledge and wisdom, as well as affective support. In addition to identifying benefits to Instagram use, some participants offered critiques of Instagram's professional utility. We discuss the implications of these findings for educators' work in a digital era and the future of research on educators' social media activities. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
