THIS APP IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Self-Awareness

By nature, social media platforms encourage users to be expressive. Building profiles, adding biographical information, and sharing choice pictures, reveal certain personality traits and characteristics specific to each individual users. In a way, users are "putting themselves out there" when they share an image. Whether it's a photograph from a personal collection, a image of a favorite band, or an inspiration quote, users should be sure that everything they post means something to them. In addition to expressive posts, We Heart It also provides users with a means to gauge the overall effectiveness of their posts. Users who track the number of "hearts" each photo receives, are able to see what images work best in the social media sphere. Does the photo of Justin Beiber receive more hearts than the picture of Edgar Allen Poe? Depending on the nature of the "hearts, what does this tell users about the cultural climate? Is their finger of the pulse?

Organization

If users wants their pictures to be found it's important that they are organized properly. This is where hashtagging becomes increasingly important. It's the only real way to create a set of searchable images. While all pictures are arranged chronologically, it can be difficult for frequent We Heart It users to find specific photos later on. Therefore, users must think of hastags like a labelled folder. Hashtags can help push some posts to viral status, but for the purpose of organization, users should be more inclined to develop a small "bank" of hashtag words and phrases. For example, hashtag images with broad umbrella terms. Instead of writing "John and I," tag the photo with the umbrella word first "friends," and then become more specific with the name of the friend. Now users will be able to have photos of all their friends in the same collection of hashtags. And if they would like to only find photos of "John" they will be able to do that as well.
