On February 14, I set out to complete a social media scavenger hunt. With this scavenger hunt, I created tweets with questions revolving around various seton hall topics. I wanted to see how students would answer these questions but I also wanted to use my journalistic capabilities to utilize twitter to spread and gather information regarding how students feel about certain aspects of Seton Hall.
Results
The scavenger hunt was very interesting as I got a lot of different answers from numerous students. From receiving numerous answers, I noticed how my Twitter page started to look more professional and organized.
Seeing what some of my other classmates tweeted
I also engaged with some of my classmates and what they were tweeting. It was enjoyable to watch everyone put on their journalistic shoes and get to work. Here are some of my favorites.
Engaging with others’ posts
I even engaged with some of my classmate’s posts where I thought my answer could be valuable to their process. Below are some of my answers to my classmate’s questions.
Final Thoughts
After conducting the survey, I found that utilizing Twitter as a reporter is more tedious than it looks but is also a fun task. Throughout my surveying, I found that listening to what others have to say and how they feel is always a good experience, especially if something is new to you. Hope you enjoyed my survey findings, and I look forward to utilizing my Twitter more.
