Navigating Beyond Facebook

LIRA Social Media

Hello fellow educators in world of social media! Facebook is our go-to for building communities, having conversations and connecting, but let’s face it – things have changed, especially for educators. Remember when Facebook wasn’t cluttered with ads and unwanted content? Well, those days are gone, and educators are on the lookout for new spaces that cater to their communities’ needs.

Educators aren’t just looking for any old platform – they want places that dive deep into discussions, let them share resources and enjoy tailored content without the hassle of ads and unwanted clutter. With privacy concerns and algorithm changes shaking things up on the big-name platforms, educators are ready to explore new horizons. They’re on the hunt for places that put them in control and provide a genuine sense of connection. Smaller, niche platforms that focus on what users want are becoming the new alternatives for those looking to break away from the mainstream.

This quest for a fresh community space isn’t just a fad; it’s proof that online interactions are always evolving. The social media landscape is getting a makeover, with platforms popping up to cater to specific interests, and LIRA Learning is stepping up to the plate! Our online community is starting small but mighty, offering a forum and activity feed just for educators. And as we grow, we’re adding features to make sure our space is tailor-made for you. We’re just starting out and super committed to building a platform that suits all educators. Give LIRA’s Community a spin. You can register for a Free Lifetime Community Membership anytime. We are in the early stages of development, currently with a small number of members, but we aspire to expand to thousands. Your patience is valued as our community evolves, and we encourage you to invite your friends to join us on this journey. Click here to register.
