Social media use in high school settings: Rules, outcomes, and educational opportunities

EasyChair Preprint 1074

Abstract

This study uses activity systems analysis to examine how rules shape high school students’ social media networks and tool use. Findings show how layers of rules govern their social media use. Adults exist outside their networks, but play an important offline role in regulating teenagers’ activities.
