I appreciated your point about how a PLN broadens perspective and fosters a sense of belonging through collaboration. Your reference to Simone Biles was particularly compelling; authentic voices around mental health can help make digital spaces feel safer and more supportive.
I think your post does a great job reflecting on the topic, but it might be even stronger with a clear ânext stepâ suggestion. Could you add one or two practical ideas for making conversations more inclusive, like inviting different viewpoints or adding a short note when sensitive topics come up.
Regarding the presentation, I like the clean, easy-to-read layout. Adding a brief conclusion or subheadings such as âWhy PLNs matter,â âInclusion in practiceâ) might make it even easier to scan.
Please check the rubric to ensure you’ve included links or brief references to examples, like the Simone Biles post/interview, so everything required is covered.
Iâd love to hear about one actionable step you plan to try next to invite diverse perspectives in your PLN.
I enjoyed reading your reflections! I especially appreciated how you linked PLNs to specific platforms and communities; it helped make the concept more tangible. I also use LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram as part of my PLN. My content mainly concentrates on elementary education, but itâs interesting to see how others utilize these platforms for different subjects, like graphic design. Your reminder that digital security is an ongoing responsibility, not just a one-time task, was also a very practical takeaway.
Could you add a concrete example for the diverse learning spaces section, perhaps from your own experience or a case study, so readers can better imagine how it works in practice?
Your post is very clear and easy to follow. The headings work well, but including a small visual showing how PLNs, digital security, and inclusivity connect could make it even more memorable. Overall, great job!
I enjoyed how you shared your journey with social media. It made your reflections feel relatable and genuine. Your point about being intentional with what we follow resonated with me, especially how youâre curating accounts around your career interests. I also appreciated how you included the conversation about Emma Chamberlain and Mac DeMarco. It added a unique, real-world perspective to your post.
I wonder if you could expand a little on your section about digital literacy by adding a quick example of how someone might actively break out of an echo chamber or fact-check content they see online? That could give readers something practical to try.
Your post flows well, and the visuals complement your writing. Excellent work, your perspective comes across as honest and encouraging!
I connected with your original view of social media as mainly for fun or keeping up with friends, I felt the same before this course. I appreciated how clearly you explained your shift in perspective, especially the influence of Shelley Mooreâs video. Your point about social media amplifying diverse voices and supporting inclusivity stood out to me. I also liked how you described your WordPress blog becoming more than an assignment; itâs inspiring to see you using it as a space for ongoing reflection and professional growth.
I also found your explanation of Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) both clear and practical. It made me think about how I could be more intentional in building mine by following people and communities that align with my goals.
I wonder if the section on building a PLN could be even more effective with a short example of a specific account, group, or interaction that has influenced your learning so far. Adding that might help readers better visualize how PLNs work in real life.
Your blog layout is clean and easy to follow, and the images complement your writing well. A small suggestion, maybe include more visuals to break up the writing.
Iâm glad youâre so passionate about helping children and their families succeed. Itâs my passion too, which is why Iâm going to school to become an elementary teacher! I agree with what you said-learning is always ongoing, and itâs important to stay relevant in any field. Things are constantly changing.
Yes, I can relate. During COVID, when in-person learning wasnât possible, social platforms were how I communicated with friends and family. It was an interesting time; however, it opened the door to remote work, digital communication tools, and online businesses.
Itâs great to see you using social media as collaborative tools, like Facebook. I also use groups; however, I mainly rely on Instagram as a tool.
I read that you have a busy schedule juggling many things at once. I can relate; I also juggle 50 hours a week, three UVIC courses, a boyfriend, family, and friends. But if it werenât for online courses, it wouldnât be possible to take courses during such a busy time. Iâm grateful they give me more flexibility to complete assignments.
I appreciate you sharing that, as an educator, you keep your account private. I need to do this too; however, I need to figure out how because my account is a business account. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to do this while maintaining privacy.
I agree we need to learn these technology skills so we can teach future generations and keep them educated. Great job on your post, and the content is excellent. One suggestion is to align photos with the text or even use a text column paired with images, as this could help make it look more organised.
