Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

My students will jump up in class when they get the notification. My only rule is that I get to be in it.

You're a good teacher, working around the things they find important in their lives. Thank you

Same with ChatGPT I show them how to use it as a tutor, instead of a homework solving machine. Other teachers "ban" it. They're the same people that would have resisted color television.

I'm not sure I understand the concept. So the app chooses a random time of day to send an alert, at which point everyone in a group gets to post whatever they want? When the window ends then there are no more posts until the next day? Are you in the groups with the kids?

You're allowed to post later, though this will be visible with your post. Tbh I like it until now. It's a good way to engage with my friends now that I only see them a few times a month. The friends I have on BeReal are generally respecting the rule that you either post at the moment BeReal asks you to or at the nearest moment where it's okay to so. I won't post at work, at the toilet, or in the shower or something. But I will do so after those moments of I'm doing something mundane like washing the dishes or cycling home. You'll generally just get a sense of what your friends' life's like like normally, as well as the fun things they do like traveling or visiting some event.
