o Explore the video provided and reflect on the themes of a PLN in a professional capacity.
PLN allows the audience to receive open and inclusive real information. As Mr. Brad Baker said, PLN allows the voice to tell the truth to exist. The shared story will not appear false information because of political position or private interests. Compared with second-hand information or third-hand information, the form of PLN dissemination of information is more meaningful. In addition, allow more influential people to exist and work together to maintain the health of the community.
o Which social media platforms are beneficial in education?
There are many social media platforms that are good for education. As mentioned in Alec couros’ article, it is most important to understand how these tools work and how to use them in combination with learning. In my opinion, YouTube is a good educational platform. Its video coverage is very wide and there are many choices. We can find what we are interested in and use it as a tutorial to learn knowledge.
o Consider the equality that exists when all have the same platform to engage community dialogues.
I think that when everyone has the same platform to participate in community dialogue, the existing equality is that everyone can have the same opportunity to express their views. In addition, everyone has the same opportunity to become an influential person through the platform.

Hi Yuqing Wang,
Thank you for sharing your blog post 7, Each question you answer is excellent. You provide examples that clarify what social media means to the network using social media, which helps people understand rather than simply reading a definition. The internet provides many opportunities for people to motivate themselves, such as employment opportunities, which are necessary for motivation. As you mention, motivation is essential for people to engage in something. Thank you for highlighting the negative impacts associated with digital identities. Individuals can see our digital identities and see what we like, what we think about some social issues, and we cannot post any negative comments if we do have to search for groups.
H i Yuqing,
Social media has become an integral component of how people from all walks of life connect and conduct business. You can do at least four crucial things with social media:
Draw attention to your work and increase traffic to it.
Find out about new trends and ideas.
Create, refine, and enhance your brand.
Deepen your relationships with existing and new audiences.
Because social media evolves all the time, it’s critical to stay current with the platforms’ progress and to continue searching for ways to improve your usage of the tools that are accessible.
