Abstract	The agricultural mechanics laboratory provides students with an environment where they can engage in hands-on learning (Wells et al., 2013). However, learning cannot take place unless agriculture teachers provide a safe learning environment for students to develop agricultural mechanics-related skills (McKim and Saucier, 2011). Phipps et al. (2008) indicated that agriculture teachers are responsible for identifying safety hazards, providing daily safety instruction, and maintaining safe working conditions for students. McKim and Saucier (2011) further suggested that accidents in agricultural mechanics laboratories can be reduced ensuring that the teachers who oversee those facilities are competent in laboratory management. Could the use of Snapchat help secondary agriculture teachers become more competent in identifying and reducing hazardous conditions as they emerge? Snapchat has been a popular social media tool used among teenagers and young adults, and often used to share pictures and videos among friends (Poltash, 2013). However, Snapchat need not be limited to social use only and can be used by agriculture teachers in the post-secondary classroom, specifically the agricultural mechanics laboratory to enhance laboratory awareness. This innovative idea aligns with the American Association for Agricultural Education 20112015 Research Priority Areas Technologies, Practices and Products as well as Efficient and Effective Programs (Doerfert, 2011).
