Hi Andrew, I agree you that rewards of public communications. During the Covid-19, many people cannot go to school. The public communications are really solve the problems during Covid-19 when people cannot go outdoor. This is very important way to maintain the functioning of society during the Covid-19.

Hi Andrew, I also think the data privacy and security limit a PLN. As you said there are leak on personal information by third party software, so people will be cautiously to create their PLN. Therefore, people will minimize the consequences of leaking privacy. Thereby reducing expressing yourself on PLN.

Hi Andrew, I like your view of inclusion. I used to think that inclusion meaning is that do not criticizing others. Your explanation of inclusion gave me a deeper understanding of the word. I very agree that inclusion need people to know, to understand, and to recognize before acceptance. This let me know that inclusion is not just acceptance and non-criticism.

Hi Andrew, I think photography can really help your PLN become better. People like things that look beautiful, which can attract people’s attention very well. It is a great thing to integrate your hobbies into your PLN.

Hi Andrew, I like your cat, he is so cute. I also have a Ragdoll, hope to share with you the experience of raising cats. I agree that “notables use social media with extreme caution”. In China, if a notables make inappropriate comments on the Internet, their career may be seriously affected. I think when a person who speak with influential, he should consider the impact of what he says. Notables should speak more rigorously so as not to have a bad influence, especially for children who don’t know how to distinguish between good and bad.

Hi Anna, I agree with you that “A diverse PLN will attract more and more audiences from various backgrounds and encourage sharing of different views among the group.” Also, the inclusion maked people feel free to talk. The audiences’ opinions from different backgrounds will also be recognized by everyone, rather than blindly rejected. Knowing each other can learn better in PLN.

Hi Anna, I am also a user of CourseSpaces and BrightSpace and benefit from them. During the Covid-19, I cannot stop using BrightSpaces because I need to use it for online learning. In addition, I think Youtube is also a social media platform that is very useful for education. I learn a lot of course content by watching Youtube videos, which is very helpful for my online learning.

Hi Anna, I agree with you about the media literacy explained and why is it important. Media literacy also is ability of people to make true judgments about information. The development of the media has led to the dissemination of many false information, which requires people to have a good judgment on the authenticity of the information. Therefore, the media literacy is very important.

Hi Anna, as you said that PLN bings more job opportunities. Whether the PLN helps you get to know more people, or others have discovered your strengths in your PLN. This will undoubtedly bring more job opportunities.
