Hashtag #förskola : en studie om användandet av sociala medier för föräldrasamverkan inom förskolan

The purpose with this examination is to interpret and analyze interviews with a few chosen teachers and parents to find out what they think about using Instagram in preschool. My purpose of my study is also to see how preschools can improve parental interaction by using social media in their daily occupation.My questions for this study are: How can you use social media in preschool and what is the purpose with this? What does a few teachers thinking about using Instagram in preschool? What does a few parents thinking about using Instagram in preschool? Could it be any problems with the using of Instagram in preschool? What kind of material is published on a few chosen preschools Instagram account? To get answers to my questions, I have made qualitative interviews with three teachers and three parents. As a complement to my interviews, I have made an observation and description what preschools publish on their Instagram account. I have featured some research about parental interaction and the meaning of that. I have also presented some literature about social media. The result of my study shows that my informants are very positive to use Instagram as a parental connection in preschool. The teachers think it’s an easy implement to share daily activities with the parents and the parents think they get to know better what their children are doing at daily basis
