My learning community

Healthy habits 

https://www.instagram.com/healthy.habiitss/?hl=es

Healthy habits learning communities are very important because the information given in them can improve people's quality of life. Misinformation and fake news are becoming more and more viral, for that reason, these types of communities help each other to find verified and official information. 

Our theme is aimed at people between young and old. Especially, to make them aware of healthy habits to integrate into our lives. For that reason, we have chosen the social network Instagram. Also, this app has many options to upload content in different formats (videos, stories, photos) which makes it more interesting and dynamic. Another reason why we have chosen this social network is because of the experience we have managing it. Instagram is a social network of American origin created by Kevin Systorm and Mike Krieger, currently owned by Facebook. It was founded in 2010 and became very popular in a very short period among the younger population. This social network is used to share photos and videos with other users. It is powerful since you can talk to people from other countries through direct messages, voice notes, and video calls. In addition, it allows you to manage your privacy.

Through this type of platform, social links are increased and you can develop your communication skills. At the same time, you meet new people who can provide you with opportunities. Advice, information, and lots of laughs can be shared in these communities, we consider this type of interaction to be very positive.

Me & Myself

My name is Janaina Aguirre. I'm 20 years old and I'm studying pre-primary education above all things because of the love I have for children. Children learn at high speed and develop motor, social, and cognitive skills that will partly shape their future identity. Teachers are very important figures at these ages, that is why I believe some of us can make a difference.

Speaking of myself, I am very romantic, and also I like to dance and write in my spare time. I love animals, helping people, taking care of my family, and traveling. You can learn a lot from others and their culture!
