–Explore the video provided and reflect on the themes of a PLN in a professional capacity.
Brad Baker used his PLN for indigenous people. The indigenous people got benefits by that. Also, it is a effective way to connect and work with individuals in different parts of the world people. The PLN can bring understand for everyone’s story and experience. Also, people can be positive contributors to society because professional learning community is a healthy dialogue but also respectful dialogue.
–Which social media platforms are beneficial in education?
I think all the social media platforms can be beneficial in education. People only need to follow education-related content and authority figures on social media platforms. You can learn education-related content on different social media platforms. Therefore, I think all social media platforms can be heneficial of learning education. The correct use of social media platforms is what we should do, not to find a social mnedia platform that only allows you to learn. Also, people can hear the true story by social media plaatforms. The second or third hand informations are generally loses its meaning at some point. For example, attention to the indigenous leaders, and getting their story and voice out there which is so important because this is their real voice, without any polishing.
–Consider the equality that exists when all have the same platform to engage community dialogues.
When all people have the same platform to engage community dialogues, everyone has the right to speak. They can share their thoughts on the platform. Everyone is no longer just a learner, but can also become an educator.

Hi Nathan,
I agree with you that everyone on the internet has the right to speak and share. Internet is a whole other world with many people in it, and people in this world should all have the same right. I like the way you ended the last question, because there always something that we don’t know about, and something we are good at. Through sharing and interpreting, we are bringing this digital world alive.
