[en] In an era dominated by social media, reportedly more concerned with self-expression than self-reflection, the classical injunction to ?Know Thyself? has renewed purchase. Increased self-knowledge on the whole enables a student to become more self-determining by exercising a choice, a ?freedom to?be? that is central to the human condition. Identity construction, development and formation are all considered important functions within education, and many teachers adopt a pedagogical approach that stimulates adolescents to connect what they are taught to who they are and want to be. However, much of this development of self-knowledge takes place in non-formal learning environments, be they co-curricular clubs or activities outside of school. It is my contention that social media offers as much in terms of exploring new identity positions as these more traditional locations for self-learning. Although many do not feel a need to articulate and share in order to believe they are present in the world there are an increasing number of those, who believe that to be is to be perceived through online expression.?/nRather than focusing upon the envy inducing ?Perfect Me? posts that are so often linked to the decline in adolescent mental health and wellbeing, this paper explores how mundane and banal posts on social media can be used to frame and reframe aspects of modern life which in turn promotes self-learning. By drawing attention to the average, everydayness of existence, the relationship between the seemingly ordinary and self-knowledge becomes more apparent. This paper considers the potential individuals have for coming to know themselves a little more deeply as they move through a process of self expression, to self curation, to self construal, to self construction. Rather than asking ?What is it to be in the [online] world?? it poses the slightly different question: ?What is it to present being??. It also considers the space between these two questions as offering potential for fostering the wider educational ideal, that of greater self-knowledge.?

[es] En una era dominada por las redes sociales, aparentemente m?s preocupada por la autoexpresi?n que la autorreflexi?n, el precepto cl?sico de ?Con?cete a ti mismo? cobra nueva importancia. En conjunto, un mayor autoconocimiento permite al alumno desarrollar una mayor autodeterminaci?n mediante el ejercicio de la elecci?n, de la ?libertad de ser?, esencial de la condici?n humana. La construcci?n de la identidad, el desarrollo y la formaci?n se consideran funciones importantes en la educaci?n, y muchos profesores adoptan un enfoque pedag?gico que anima a los alumnos a conectar lo que se les ense?a con lo que son y lo que quieren ser. No obstante, una gran parte de este desarrollo del autoconocimiento tiene lugar en entornos de aprendizaje informales, ya sean actividades curriculares complementarias o actividades extraescolares. En mi opini?n, las redes sociales ofrecen tantas posibilidades para explorar nuevas opciones de identidad como estos espacios de autoaprendizaje m?s tradicionales. Aunque muchos no sienten la necesidad de expresar y compartir para creer que est?n presentes en el mundo, hay un n?mero creciente de personas que creen que ser es ser percibido a trav?s de la expresi?n online. En lugar de centrarse en las publicaciones del ?Yo perfecto?, generadoras de envidia, que con tanta frecuencia se vinculan al deterioro de la salud mental y el bienestar de los adolescentes, este art?culo explora c?mo las publicaciones mundanas y banales en las redes sociales pueden utilizarse para formular y reformular aspectos de la vida moderna que, a su vez, fomentan el autoaprendizaje. Al dirigir la atenci?n hacia lo corriente, hacia la cotidianidad media de la existencia, la relaci?n entre lo aparentemente ordinario y el autoconocimiento resulta m?s evidente. Este art?culo analiza el potencial que tienen los individuos para llegar a conocerse un poco mejor a medida que avanzan por un proceso que va de la autoexpresi?n, del comisariado del yo y de la autointerpretaci?n a la autoconstrucci?n. En lugar de preguntar ??Qu? significa ser en el mundo [online]??, plantea una cuesti?n ligeramente distinta: ??Qu? significa presentar el ser??. Tambi?n examina el espacio entre estas dos preguntas como un lugar con potencial para fomentar el ideal educativo m?s amplio, el de un mayor autoconocimiento.
