Hi all,
I am teaching a social media research class in the fall and I’m looking for suggestions for tools I should teach my students. Right now, they’re all collecting and analyzing tweets and Facebook memes and whatever else by hand, and I want to diversify the things they know how to do with some technological options.
Apologies if this has been asked recently--the listserv archive is not the most searchable thing. Also, I suspect some tools have recently broken given shifts around privacy.
I’m mostly platform agnostic right now—I’ll look at what the options are and work backwards from there to which ones I want to teach. What can you recommend?
I’m happy to compile the suggestions and share with the list.
Thanks,
