The lit review is great! But the methods leave something to be desired- snowball sampling and convenience sampling substantially weaken the quality of the inferences you're able to make about your population of interest, something that you fail to address. Please speak more to this limitation of your dataset, or better yet, frame this within the more specific context of 'emerging elementary educators,' and try to think about how this may connect to how teachers use social media for civic engagement. There's promise, but it's not quite there yet.
