I totally agree with your article, I think the PLN is a good way to help me learn because I can find a different way to learn. For example, I can find a video to help me understand the points on the website. When I spend more time reading textbooks, I want to watch a video because it is a more easy way to know what’s the information about this stuff and it can save time.

I think your article is good for us because we can know the PLN is good for the post-secondary course, we can find some resources and information such as videos, and articles, that will be helpful when the student finds some references and easy to find useful points in their studies. Also, there are many opportunities to meet professional people from around the world because we can find different countries’ professors who write articles and then post them on the website, they are more helpful than students who only read textbooks, they will explain their points in an easy way.

I think media literacy is important because we can know the truth and we can think of the incident in the right way. we might have a conflict between two social media because they might have different views in the event so many people will argue on the internet, this is not good for us. We should protect our internet environment and be patient when we read the news. If social media are more persuasive, we will trust social media more than before.

I totally agree with your article, I think internet safety is more important in our life because if someone says bad things on the internet, we might suffer cyber-violence, which might cause depression and anxiety in ourselves. So we should protect our information when we use the internet. Also, some social media is not good for us because they might stretch the fact, then there is no one know the truth of the incident so we should clearly identify the social media is good or bad. When I read your article, I know more stuff about balancing PLN.

After a deep understanding of the course, l can reflect on the general trends that I have
observed regarding the development of personal learning networks(PLNs), the use of social media platforms and networked publics, and the changing perspective of social media in professional and personal settings.
Firstly, the course has emphasized the importance of building a PLN, which is a network of people and resources that one can turn to for learning and professional growth. The course has highlighted the fact that learning does not happen only in a traditional classroom setting, but rather it happens in a more informal and networked environment which requires individuals to be proactive in building their own learning networks. I have observed that participants in the course have actively engaged in building their PLNs by connecting with others in the course sharing resources and ideas and seeking feedback from their peers. They have also leveraged social media platforms like Twitter, Linkedin, and Facebook to expand their networks beyond the confines of the course and engage with professionals in their respective fields.
Secondly, the course has provided an opportunity for participants to explore different social media platforms and networked public, and understand their potential in professional and personal contexts. Participants have explored different platforms like Twitter, Linkedin, and Facebook and learned how to use them effectively to build their personal brands, network with other professionals, and promote their work. They have also learned about the potential risks associated with using social media such as privacy concerns, cyberbullying, and misinformation, and the importance of being mindful of these issues
Thirdly, the course has encouraged participants to reflect on their perspective of social media in professional and personal settings. Many participants have shared their experiences of how social media has helped them to connect with other professionals, access new opportunities, and stay up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in their respective fields. They have also acknowledged the potential risks and challenges associated with social media and the need to be mindful of their online presence and behavior.
Overall. I have observed that the course has been successful in encouraging participants to actively engage in building their PLNs, exploring different social media platforms and networked publics, and reflecting on their perspective of social media in professional and personal settings. I will continue to evolve my understanding of these concepts in line with the changing trends and developments in the field.

Can your PLN be used to help professional development post-course?
Having a PLN can be immensely helpful in post-course professional development as it allows individuals to continue learning and staying updated on developments in their field of work. I believe that my PLN can be utilized to help me with my professional development post-course. For instance, I can continue following industry experts, influencers, and other thought leaders on social media platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn to learn from their insights, perspectives, and opinions. I can also join online groups and forums related to my industry to engage with other professionals and exchange knowledge and ideas. These platforms can be a great way to keep up with industry news and stay updated on emerging trends and technologies.
However, relying solely on my PLN to open professional opportunities may not be the best strategy. While my PLN can provide valuable insights and learning resources, it may not necessarily lead to job offers or other professional opportunities. It is important to keep in mind that networking is only one aspect of professional development, and other factors such as qualifications, experience, and skillset are also crucial in landing job opportunities. Therefore, it is essential to complement my PLN with other strategies such as job search websites, professional organizations, and personal outreach to potential employers.
In conclusion, having a PLN can be a valuable tool in post-course professional development, but it should not be relied on as the sole strategy for opening professional opportunities. Building and maintaining a diverse network of contacts and resources can help individuals stay informed, connected, and engaged in their field of work.
Can your PLN be relied on to open professional opportunities?
In addition to social media and online platforms, I can also utilize other resources to expand my PLN and enhance my professional development. Attending conferences, workshops, and seminars related to my field of work can be an excellent way to meet new people, learn from experts, and gain insights into industry trends and best practices. Professional associations and networking events can also be helpful in expanding my network and meeting potential employers or collaborators.
Furthermore, I believe that active participation and engagement are crucial in building a robust and effective PLN. Sharing my own insights, perspectives, and experiences can help me establish myself as a thought leader and attract like-minded individuals to my network. Engaging in discussions, asking questions, and offering feedback can also help me learn from others and develop new skills and knowledge.
Overall, I see my PLN as an essential part of my professional development toolkit. By leveraging a diverse range of resources and engaging with others, I can stay informed, connected, and motivated in my career. While my PLN may not guarantee job opportunities or instant success, it can provide me with the resources, knowledge, and support I need to achieve my professional goals
