“…Among our sample, there appeared to be widespread mixing of personal and professional content on Instagram, in contrast to findings related to educators’ use of Twitter ( Carpenter, Kimmons, Short, Clements, & Emmett Staples, 2019 ) and Facebook ( Thunman & Persson, 2018 ). Distinct from other social media, Instagram may be appealing specifically because the line between personal and professional is fluid.…”

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.

“…We experienced a strong positive engagement in our posts by faculty members, but anecdotally also a few examples of reduced care in matters of governance of client and pet privacy. For veterinarians and other health workers, as for teachers, the boundaries between private and professional online presence can easily become unclear, and the perception of online presence varies with age and work experience 21,22,47–49 . Other authors have highlighted a need to maintain a dialogue with veterinary students and faculty with regard to the interface between private and professional online behavior and client communication in general 28,50,51 .…”

“…A recent study demonstrated that members of society were negatively affected by online workday comments of fictional healthcare citizens such as doctors and veterinarians 52 . Therefore, although veterinary students, veterinarians, and teachers have the right to share private opinions on social media, they should be aware of the impact that it can have on their professional image 22,49,52 …”

Background: There is little peer-reviewed information about the strategic use of Facebook in companion animal veterinary settings, including for research recruitment. This study evaluates the implementation and execution of a Facebook strategy in a University Teaching and Research Hospital setting and the use of Facebook as a veterinary communication and recruitment tool. Methods: All posts published on the hospital's Facebook page, messages sent via Messenger, and Facebook insight data from April 2017 to November 2019 (31 months) were reviewed and categorized. Facebook as a recruitment tool was evaluated through a survey among the faculty. Results: A total of 113 posts were published, the Facebook page had 3485 followers and altogether 590,877 users were reached. The use of a Facebook strategy supported consistent management of the Facebook page. The content was well aligned with the strategy. The survey showed that the faculty experienced a facilitation effect by their recruitment posts, although the actual recruitment varied and ranged from none to the vast majority of all recruited subjects. Conclusions: This case-based, descriptive study gives insight and generates awareness about the possibilities and limitations of communication and research recruitment via Facebook. Further research is needed to evaluate if the findings can be generalized.

“…The boundary theory focuses on people's mental and practical strategies for integrating and segmenting different systems of meaning -different expectations and rolessuch as between family life and work life, self and others, and public and private (Ashforth, Kreiner, & Fugate, 2000;Lamont & Molnar, 2002;Nippert-Eng, 1996;Riesch, 2010;Persson & Thunman, 2017a). The boundary theory adopts a social constructionist perspective, where the individual is treated as an active agent in the co-construction of boundaries in social interactions and practices (Zerubavel, 1991).…”

The purpose of the study is to explore how Swedish lower secondary school teachers manage blended learning environments, established through using a specific learning management system (LMS) application. In the study, four teachers were followed during a four-month (n)ethnographic fieldwork. Based on analyses of data from video-recordings and observations in physical and virtual classrooms, the study examines teachers' practices of integrating and segmenting the two classroom domains. In order to unpack the realms of these practices, the study employs affordance and boundary theories. Through the analysis of participants' boundary practices and their use of communicative affordances in and across space and time, four teacher roles, enacted and emerging through teaching practices, are presented. The paper concludes with a discussion of how participants' engagement with virtual and physical learning environment compels teachers to reflect upon their preferred teacher role in the new multidimensional classrooms.
