Hi Junyang, I think PLN is really important in education, we can use different software to help professors teach students such as Facebook, and Google. Google is a big part of PLN, students and teachers can find anything they want to search. It is easy and fast to find references in our life. But we also want to know the website is not one hundred percent safe so we should protect our password and website history.

Hi Zheyu, I have a different opinion about the beneficial social media, although TikTok is a popular app right now, they still have some articles and short videos for fun and they don’t have enough knowledge for people to learn. I think the most beneficial social media should be youtube, Twitter, and TED.

Hi Jacky, I think TED is a good app for our learning because we can find different types of presentations we can learn from there and they are really useful. When we watch the presentation on ted, we can know some knowledge we don’t know, some people talk their topic is really fun, but we don’t think it is boring so it is a good way to learn new stuff.

Hi Junyang, I think the website is not 100% safe, because we can suffer some fraud and some people will steal our information so we should protect our information in social apps.

Hi Zheyu, I like your point. When we use Facebook we can find any information that we want to search and we can discuss together for some points. Also, internet safety is really important for us. we don’t want another person to steal our website password so we should make our digital identity safe. we can download some software to protect them.

HI Jacky, I totally agree with your blog, When we use our PLN, we should protect our personal information, if someone steals our personal information such as account passwords, it is a dangerous thing for us.

Hi Jacky, I agree with your idea because if we lost our cellphones, we are really worried about our wallet safety because if we don’t use passwords to lock our WeChat or Alipay, another person will steal our money, It is a really bad thing for us.

Hi Zheyu, I agree with your idea for the digital wallet is really convenient because we don’t need to bring a real wallet anywhere and we don’t need to worry about our lost wallet so it is a great point.

Hi Junyang, I totally agree with your idea, the digital wallet is really convenient and speedy, we can use our digital wallet anywhere in China, many people don’t need to bring their wallet and their digital wallet is really safe because they should use their face ID to make identify, if the face id is incorrect, another person will not steal their money so digital wallet are safe.

HI Zheyu, when I read your blog, I think your blog is really interesting and I want to think about some points in my mind. There are some risks from the internet such as fraud, it is the disgusting part when we use the internet, we will lose our money and feel sad. So I totally agree with your blog points.

Hi junyang, I think the internet is a really interesting part of our life and it can reduce our stress, but when we spend more time on the internet, our life will be a huge difference, we can receive some trash emails and some fraud, we can feel uncomfortable and nervous for the fraud. so I strongly agree with your points.

Hi Jacky, I totally agree with your points. When we use the internet, we can easily make friends from the internet and make our life interesting. I also agree with the risk from the internet because I also received many messages for fraud, and I feel really unsafety.

Community engagement is public Communication

In social media sharing, there are many benefits of a diversified and inclusive PLN. For example, we can share our thoughts on knowledge, and we can also learn more personally, aiming at our own shortcomings and weaknesses. In this PLN network, there are many people with the same interests we can share with them, and there are many professionals we can ask for help. We can also learn about innovative ideas, and in the same way, we can share our difficulties and challenges above, and maybe someone will try to help us. We will also get new inspiration, and we will learn some lessons to prevent us from making mistakes again. Here, we can carry out privacy design, things that we do not want to be seen will not be seen, and at the same time, knowing where you come from PLN may match people in the same place with you, which makes it easier for you to communicate better, learn more about your preferences and interests, and PLN can help us find people who are better and more suitable to get along with us. This avoids a lot of unnecessary socializing and saves time.
At work, because of knowing our information, a multivariate and inclusive PLN can help us work better, it can avoid our information from being disclosed, and form a better relationship with our customers. The corresponding moral values will also deepen the impression of our customers and believe that we are trustworthy people. Finally, in social media, an inclusive and diverse PLN has many advantages. It can not only help us learn more individually, but also help us build a better image. I hope we can all use social media correctly and make it more useful.

    It may be difficult to build a reputation and trust in an interconnected culture, but it is not difficult for a person who already has a sense of trust and reputation.

    2. Are you leveraging healthy relationships from your PLN for growth?
    Yes, I am using the healthy relationship from PLN to promote growth, where I can start my own personalized learning and better improve myself. I also discuss it with people with the same interests, such as innovative ideas, and confusion, and I can share my views with them. They can guide me and give me more professional guidance. Our relationship is mutually beneficial and very harmonious.
    3. How would you create a PLN prior to engaging in a social media campaign on a topic of your choice?
    When I choose a topic, I will first consider whether it is misleading to the network, because in this era of social media explosion, we have to always consider the impact on the network and people, at the same time, I will also avoid the introduction of some sensitive topics, will also retain some privacy settings, I will also fully consider the network policy, try not to cause misunderstanding, when creating PLN I will share more things I am interested in, hoping to meet like-minded people and discuss with me.

PLN in education

I think there are lots of social media that can be useful such as blogs, we can read some articles from the blog. Also, Facebook, Linkedin Twitter youtube. Email is beneficial software in education.

When working with the vulnerable sector. how does social media fit into professionalism and regulations?

Some are not in line with professionalism and rules and regulations, because the online time and offline time of social media are very clear, and some posts may be mistaken for violence or breaking discipline and undermining the online ethos. The release of social media may also lead to their own privacy exposure, some racial discrimination or female discrimination can not be clearly distinguished by social media, which can also lead to errors at work. Some employers may not want their employees to post posts, and social media may misunderstand some posts, which may lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. When using social media, you should distinguish between personal accounts and corporate accounts to avoid confusion. In general, do not add customers to social media. If this is not what you would say in public, you should think before posting, whether it will lead to some misunderstandings.

Proficient in the application of data protection technologies to protect personal information. Timely data discovery, data loss, data storage, and data security can be ensured through backups, snapshots, replication, firewalls, authentication and authorization, encryption, endpoint protection, and more. At the same time, pay attention to data erasing and recovery functions, and beware of data loss. Protect passwords when you need them to log in and change them frequently. Do not post inappropriate or sexually suggestive pictures or comments, the Internet is not illegal, be a law-abiding netizen. The web is an anonymous world, and we should care about website safety, we should not respond to inappropriate requests. Respect copyright and support genuine book websites.

Consider how an employer would respond if you applied for a job with them and they assessed your social media presence via your digital identity.
Prepare a professional resume on social media, and the vast majority of recruiters believe that the first impression that your resume makes is very important. Secondly, ensure that the content published on social accounts is positive and can leave a good impression on recruiters. Last but not least, keep your social accounts open and keep your job postings available.

With the development of modern communication media,many people,especially, young fellows tend to keep contact with others on the Internet, which indeed bring us more convenience and efficiency.And it gives us a platform to know more friends.What’s more we don’t worry about what should say and what wIt is the mapping of natural person’s identity in the digital space in the entity society.

What is a digital identity?

About digital identity ,It is considered to condense the real identity information into a digital code to form a public key that can be queried and identified through the network and related equipment. Digital identity is the infrastructure leading to the digital twin world and the key to open the door of trust in the digital worlde shouldn’t in a virtual world.Digital identity includes not only identity coding information such as birth information, individual description and biological characteristics, but also personal behavior information with multiple attributes.

How do personal versus professional approaches to digital identity affect social media use?

Digital citizens apply the principle of acceptable behavior in the virtual world. It includes equality of opportunity, basic understanding of legal responsibility, and understanding of etiquette and personal safety. In essence, it provides a platform to teach people to respect each other and prevent negative characteristics such as online bullying. Most of them seem like basic common sense, but as many people will regret to prove, it is difficult to find common sense when providing anonymity to online audiences.

How do digital identities converge in networked publics -what are the impacts and/or benefits?

Digital identity converges with the public in the network through different ways.Digital identity includes not only identity coding information such as birth information, individual description and biological characteristics, but also personal behavior information with multiple attributes.By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that the Internet has had a positive impact on modern life because of its influences on communication and the flow of information.

Digital wallet can be trusted in our life. In China, Many people use digital wallet such as WeChat pay and Alipay pay, they are really convenient and we can use everywhere. When the people go to restaurants or shopping center, we can use digital wallet. If the cellphone is locked, we should use our Face ID and figure to unlock our digital wallets so it is safe way in our life.

PLN&public communication

  1. What does it mean to the network using social media?
    Using social media is good for developing our own online skills and digital literature. Today’s world is developing rapidly, full of changes, and information spread widely and rapidly. Only relying on the knowledge and skills learned in school is no longer enough to support our long-term development and growth in the future. Therefore, we should make full use of the convenience brought by social media networks. More importantly, build social media networks on a personal level to become adaptive lifelong learners. On social media networks, learners can find what they need from numerous learning resources for individual learning. In addition, group learning is also a good choice. Social media networks are a great opportunity for students who love a wide range of learning.
  2. How are we motivated to participate in networked publics?
    By managing connections in a personal network, professionals can learn by connecting with others, thereby expanding the network that supports personal growth and learning. Professional networks develop the ability to connect with others. Professional networks can benefit different groups of people by connecting with the public, facilitating personal career development, connecting organizations with business partners, and providing learning pathways for professionals.
    Learning professionals further their activities by performing three tasks: making contacts, maintaining contacts, and activating and selecting contacts with people for learning purposes. Participating in the online public cultivates our ability to connect with others to take the next step. This ability can give full play to the maximum efficiency of online learning and absorb the knowledge you need more quickly. Meanwhile, the network connection has a more “good contact” effect and improves the convenience of learning and work.
  3. What are the risks & rewards of public communications?
    Reward: Public communication can spread knowledge of the world through the network. The diversity of knowledge greatly expands the convenience of acquiring knowledge, and we have more opportunities to be lifelong learners. This is important for the economic and social changes brought about by Covid-19, climate change, and the future of automated work. The timeliness of online media is high. We can quickly catch up on news happening on the other side of the world. It can share and disseminate information to enhance the ability to respond to emergencies. At the same time, the rapid transmission speed improves the efficiency of work, and working in different places has become a new way of working slowly at present.
    Risk: The development of network communication is accompanied by the progress of science and technology, and the birth of new technologies has replaced some traditional industries, bringing challenges to many industries that developed smoothly before. For example, the rapid development of network media directly impacts traditional paper media, resulting in the lack of market competitiveness of many paper media and bankruptcy, a large number of technical staff laid off, and employment difficulties.
    The convenient and fast characteristics of public communication also lead to the shortcomings of uneven dissemination of information and excessive false information on the network. The complexity of information makes it difficult for people to distinguish the authenticity of the information, and it is more likely to lead to some mistakes.
