...How to Hide in Plain Sight
Think about people with power in teens’ lives. Parents, teachers, coaches, librarians and more.
Yes, librarians have power in teens’ lives.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
“Teens go to social media and instead of thinking about all the ways they can restrict access to content, they restrict access to meaning”.
“On Social Media, The Kids Are All Right”. Science Friday. NPR, New York. 28 Feb. 2014. Web. 19 Mar. 2014. <https://soundcloud.com/scifri/on-social-media-the-kids-are>
Hide stuff in plain sightSo people are hiding things in plain sight,
like making an inside joke. Remember when you used to tell inside jokes to hide
information? Talked in a language your parents did not understand? Quoted song
lyrics?David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
How do teens use instagram?This is important.

How do teens use
instagram?David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
1. Put it in their hands2. Ask questions
To learn the answer how teens use instagram, let yourself be vulnerable in the
process (Brené).
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
1. Put it in their handsLet teens use instagram. Give them a
device. Provide them with the login and password. Teens will be logging in and out, so keep this info handy. Let them do their
thing.David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Note: Provide a device if you can.
The process is less effective when you only provide the login info, asking teens to use
their own phones. If you have a branch device, let teens use it.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
2. Ask questionsAsk teens to show you how they’re using
instagram. You will be surprised.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
ObservationsTeens did this:
Liked all the 210teenlibrary pictures.Followed all the people that also liked everything.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Logging into their personal profile and doing
it all again.Liked all the 210teenlibrary pictures.
Followed all the people that also liked everything.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Teens were constantly talking with each other,
showing each other pictures, laughing, and
being social.David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Not just staring at their devices, like adults do (Boyd).
Final ObservationWhenever I asked for something specific
about instagram or for teens to do something I got a weird look from teens.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Why is this adult always in my business?
Let it go, admit you’re too old, and it’s too loud. No really, it’s ok if this happens to you. Realize you are an adult working with teens.
This thing is part of the balance. David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Tech BasicsDemo time.
It might sound intuitive, but here is how it works. We’ll practice taking a picture,
tagging it, and looking at the feed.David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Mobile Device vs. ComputerInstagram works drastically different. For example check out the feed on a mobile
device compared to your computer.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
How do libraries use instagram?
First it depends how teens are using it.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Document programs.Teach digital literacy
Have teens create content.Show your teens you trust them and ask them to be
responsible.David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014

Instagram is not an archive.
If you want to archive pictures use flickr. Teens have already deleted pictures from
the instagram account. Which it totally fine.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Saving an Instagram picture.
This requires some HTML knowledge.The file name usually includes “distillery”
somewhere in the name, something which came from the app Burbn. Instagram is the updated
version (Panzarino).David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
Use instagram pics to make content
Perhaps like this poster.

PrivacyPrivacy settings exist on Instagram. If a user sets
their account to private you need to send a request to view their pictures. The library account is not to be used for this. Please respect people’s privacy.

SafetyWhat to do if you notice something unsafe or sense
that somebody is hurt as evidenced by what is posted on instagram? It’s hard to tell people’s identity based on their changing user names.
David Gallin-Parisi, March 2014
EngagementPay attention to how teens are using instagram at your library. You are putting it in their hands and
you should be engaged with how teens use instagram. Which brings us back to this question:
