How would you create a PLN prior to engaging a social media campaign on a topic of your choice?

First I need to determine my PLN content, and then find the audience. After understanding the audience’s preferences, publish the content that the audience is interested in. Also, keeping my PLN updated is important. People will not pay attention with PLN that has a very long period of time to update. The last thing is to follow some professionals on the same subject to improve my professional level. I can also publish content related to professionals to increase pageviews.

Choose a topic, consider your audiences, and consider how you would crate a social media campaign leveraging your PLN.

My PLN topic will talk about Heathy. I can publish some health-related data and tell you the importance of health. I believe that people care about their health. When people want to maintain their body’s health or want to make their lives healthy, they will continue to follow me. My audiences can be everyone who can use Internet .

• How diverse is your existing PLN?

My exist PLN is not much diverse. I do not particularly like sharing my life on the Internet. Although I like to use social software, I rarely share my life. According to my V&R map, many softwares I use are for learning. I did not show too much, but also to protect my personal privacy. So I think my PLN is not much diverse.

• In your PLN, are you learning from a variety of voices or are you the loudest in the room?

In my PLN, I am learning from a variety of voices. As I said above, I do not share things much. I am willing to listen to other people’s ideas. So, I have always been a role who learned from others.

• Do you participate in a silo of information sharing (similar themes or wide range of interests)?

I do some sharing on TikTok with my friends. I do not follow everyone I know because there is a notice about your friends comment in TikTok. I do not want all the people I know can see my comments, I only want to share with some of friends.

• How can you use a diverse PLN to broaden your views of inclusion?

I think we should have the views of inclusion first, then we can learn things in a correctly way. There is no country on the Internet, and everyone can express his personal views. I think we should think calmly and be tolerant.

• In your professional setting of choice, do you think inclusion is actively embraced?

I do think my professional setting’s inclusion is actively embraced. I am a international student, and there are many international students around me. They come from different countries, but everyone is inclused each others.

• What is the learning outcome of your PLN and how are you ensuring your exposure to diversity and inclusion?

I learned a lot things that I am interesting from my PLN. I think using my PLN to learn different field’s things. The PLN will be more diversity. Reducing my criticism on the Internet will also make my PLN more inclusion.

• How has your thinking about inclusion and PLN evolved after reviewing the videos and readings?

I realized that we should accept first, then we may find the truth. As said in the video, she did not think she have value in the book club community, but she cannot leave book club community after use a while. So, I think to be inclusion can leearn more effectively.

What could the student consider in expanding their professional learning network?

Students should consider how to protect thier personla privacy in thier professional learning network. Leaking personal privacy may cause property damage or personal safety. So, protecting personal privacy is the first thing during using network.

How does data privacy and security limit and/or promote a PLN?

I think the data privacy and security limit a PLN because people will be cautiously to create their PLN. Leaking privacy may have serious consequences. So, people are afraid to express themselves.

In your network how can you create a digital identity/ reputation?

Express yourself more in network. Show your strengths as much as possible and avoid your shortcomings from being magnified.
