Explore the video provided and reflect on the themes of a PLN in a professional capacity.
I think the use of social media in community publicity is a good idea, because in reality many people may have no chance to know the past and the culture of other communities. Social media can not only be used to show the community to outsiders, but also make community residents better know the culture and background of their own. PLN can make people get to know at home conveniently, so wasting time to learn in other special place is not necessary at all.
Which social media platforms are beneficial in education?
I think instagram can play a significant role in education because most of younger people have instagram. they could initiate topics and discuss them on the instagram. Meanwhile, it can also be displayed and seen by public. Instagram could record their views on different topic at different ages. when student looking for a job in the future, it can also help enterprises better understand student thinking and their experience.
Consider the equality that exists when all have the same platform to engage community dialogues.
I think there are unequal conditions for community dialogue. First of all, some students are relatively outgoing, so they have many friends in real life. Their online expressions will be supported by many friends. While for students with few friends in real life, their opinions tend to be thought of as strange ones by most people, so their views will be ignored and even ridiculed.
Consider as an additional piece, when working with the vulnerable sector, how does social media fit into professionalism and regulations?
In my opinion, wrong information ought to be avoided to spread, because many people may sustain losses due to their reliance on spread of wrong information. There is also a great impact on professionalism. As is known to all, wrong public opinion may arise from wrong information on Internet. Both sides are affected. Some formal social media platforms require identity verification to register as a user, which can effectively protect private information and should be preferred to use.
