On the one hand, using PLN can expand your social relationship and your own relationship. It can make you connect with people all over the world. Since it makes the social side of people not only limited to reality but also splits the network, this brings more to me. Also, when I get PLN in my local community and have the opportunity to share my thoughts or experiences on any social platform in the world. This allows me to share my thoughts and experiences as well as network and learn from people who share a common vision as we bring an understanding of the global perspective and bring its experience to the local community.

What is media literacy?

Why is it important?

Why is it dismissed?

Why should you aim for varied views but the factual consensus in your PLN?

Open dialogues about media literacy and factual information can create conflict, why does this happen?

What is the benefit of having a PLN that values media literacy?

What I learned about media literacy this week is that it means the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and critically understand various media. Media literacy can cultivate a person’s critical thinking, so that he is not blindly accepting information. In the face of fake news and false information, be able to distinguish between true and false and avoid misinformation. It’s also often overlooked because some people are comfortable with the status quo and don’t want to challenge or question them. Everyone’s thinking is different, and they block accepting new information that is different from their own beliefs.
Because thinking together different opinions and facts can ensure that the obtained views are more accurate and comprehensive, and will not be led by some false or false information. Conflict arises because there may be misunderstandings between people in communication, which leads to differences or conflicts. People tend to recognize their inherent values ​​and thoughts more, and may resist or reject new information. The advantage of cultivating media literacy is that it can exercise critical thinking to make more informed decisions, and for those with media literacy, it can also enhance understanding of global issues. In addition, good media quality content can enable various media to reduce the generation and dissemination of misinformation.

Community communications go beyond blogs and social media shares, how does a PLN help and hinder the development of thoughts and ideas in education discourse?

PLN can help people establish connections with others in education, it can increase people’s knowledge and influence people’s opinions.

How do educators create discourse?

Educators can provide words and resources as well as help people connect. For example, teachers can post class assignments and review materials through social media, and students can also discuss class content through social media.

What is the role of social media in education?

Social media can help teachers, students and parents establish effective information and communication channels, which can change the traditional education model, promote people’s more effective learning and even drive society forward.

What are some problems with social media communications in education settings?

Social media in educational settings can have problems with inaccurate information. For example, the advertisements that appear will affect everyone’s learning, and these advertisements may not have anything to do with education. In addition, privacy issues may also arise, such as the safety of students’ personal information may not be protected. Students may also overuse social media and it affects their lives.

Which social media platforms are beneficial in education?

Twitter, Facebook, and zoom, among others, are all good for education. For example, zoom can create a platform to communicate face to face in front of the camera.

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

Social media can actively change the amount of information owned by vulnerable groups and maintain the right to know that vulnerable groups obtain public information from social media.

How do notable individuals use social media?

Many celebrities will use Facebook, instagram, Twitter and other social media to share their recent life in the form of posting text, photos and videos.

What are the benefits of being in the public eye and having a PLN?

Appearing in front of the public can bring traffic to oneself, and many top-line celebrities now have a lot of traffic and fans. For example, Kardashian, although she is not an actress or a singer, but she has a strong flow, and her ad on Instagram is worth 500,000 knives. In my opinion, having traffic can bring many fans and even money.

Building community with online tools provided by the employer can be limiting, what are the

perceived restrictions and benefits?

In my opinion, if the content you post is not approved by them, it may be restricted. For example, Trump likes to use twitter and express some of his own remarks, but twitter officials believe that its remarks may have a negative impact on society, so twitter restricts Trump’s use of twitter. In the latest news recently, Kanye West made anti-Semitic remarks, and his Instagram account was also restricted because it may involve racial discrimination. I think the advantage should be that the general environment on the Internet is protected, and some speeches involving pornography, violence, drugs and racial discrimination will be limited.

Delivering information in a connected society requires verifiable resources, how to build a PLN to rely on?

I think building a reliable PLN can be done based on your own values ​​and beliefs, and you can find some people with the same interests, social status, information resources and establish interactive relationships with people close to you.

How do those, who are veteran storytellers, minimize the risk of sharing misinformation?

I think the best way to avoid sharing wrong information yourself is to check it out before posting.

Reflecting on how you would curate your social media with a critical public audience.

In my opinion, you can publish some of your own views on things, and keep in touch and interact with other public audiences. They can share their own values ​​with each other, exchange and learn with people of the same frequency, and establish connections and learn from more experienced people.

Identify the risks and benefits of engaging with a public audience in a media space – What are the risks for a public figure or person in a position of trust (educator, lawyer, government official)?

I think the advantage is that you can get in touch with different values ​​and information, and the risk is that your content may be plagiarized or maliciously spread comments. The risk of public figures is that they have a high number of fans and a certain social status, and they are widely followed by the public audience. Some of their remarks may be attacked by the Internet, and even directly affect their real life.

How to address negative replies and critiques that reflect your personal values and employer’s social media

policy?

The way I choose to ignore some negative replies or comments on the Internet is that I will not affect myself because of some irrelevant people, which is not worth it.

How does social media engage communications?

When face-to-face or telephone communication is impossible, social media has created a distance-free network platform that can facilitate people’s communication through video, images, information, etc.

How does social media challenge communications?

Communicators express themselves more honestly and candidly online, they become less cautious and less self-monitoring, allowing people to express themselves more freely on social media. In addition, communicators always put their best side on the Internet, and the relationship between people will develop at a faster speed. This challenges our traditional view of communication.

Is it inclusive?

I think it’s inclusive because people can communicate online with so many different perspectives.

Does your PLN amplify the views of others?

My PLN contains my own views as well as those of others, and I think it magnifies the views of others.

How to better use social media to build PLN? Influencers & Commentators

By constantly building your own social media and maintaining long-term contact with others, you can continue to learn and apply on the Internet.

What are the benefits of a diverse and inclusive PLN in social media sharing that understands where you are coming from with messaging that impacts the community?

People can learn about different perspectives and worldviews, thereby gaining a better understanding of the world around them. Since many online platforms provide such information, people can discover their fields of interest and join them. In addition, social media eliminates the restrictions of meeting and national borders, and even disabled people who cannot go out can communicate through social media.
