Many of the aspects of Path are the same of other social networking sites, like you can choose who sees your posts, posts moments in your life and filter your feed to just your family and friends. But there are several other interesting factors to Path. You can message your friends and family with text, voice, or stickers. It allows for so many expressive and creative ways to communicate with those you love while expressing yourself and your individuality. Below, I placed a picture of what the front page of my Path app looks like. It seems very user-friendly as well.
I love the expressive and private nature to Path. I think it allows for communication on a much smaller network with fun features that provide expressive creativity. However, the one aspect I don't like right off the bat is that they have a store where you have to purchase all the stickers and even filters for your photos. As an avid user of Instagram, the idea of purchasing filters is absurd to me. They should offer a start pack of stickers and filters like several apps do so users don't HAVE to purchase them in order to see how to use them. Other than that, the app seems really wonderful and creative.
Although it seems this application may not be useful in a school or library setting, I believe there are many ways it can be used. Teachers can use Path to directly communicate within smalls groups, message each others, share videos and pictures of maybe their classrooms set-ups for ideas. They can ask questions to each other and share stories and ideas online when they aren't able to speak in person. It could even create a stronger bond between teachers.
