One type of website that has become very popular in recent years is the so-called social media. From the general MySpace and Facebook, to the LinkedIn used by professionals, and Twitter, the leader of the most popular microblogging, it can be said that almost everyone has listened to or even has account. The development of Internet technology has gradually blurred the boundary between work and personal life, and such social networking sites are the latest promoters. On these social media, there are not only personal friends, but also work colleagues. Therefore, you can connect with your work partners when you are at home, and you can also cultivate personal relationships when you are in the company.

The community function seems to be promising. However, nothing is absolutely perfect in the world, and it is also true for social medias. In spite of so many benefits, social medias also produce a certain degree of harm to groups or individuals. First of all, there are already a lot of attacks on the social media itself, so it has a certain degree of danger. The other is that many social medias now allow third-party applications to access some user information. Whether these third-party-developed programs will use this channel to engage in malicious behavior, no one can guarantee. In fact, many communication-related tools like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc. Will become a channel for data leakage. How to prevent these malicious behaviors is also a challenge.

In order to avoid such problems, I think that in community participation, employers should propose extended rules, that is to say, clear usage specifications are required. For example, a company can specify which social media can be used by people in which departments, and which social media cannot be used by people in which departments. What are the functions and timing to use, and what information can be post on these social medias. In addition to the specifications, with the aid of suitable automation tools, the specifications can be further effectively implemented.

I think that my PLN should support diversity and inclusiveness, involve people with different opinions and backgrounds, try to understand different ideas and give feedback. And unite people together. At the same time, I must also think about what I mean in this PLN, what is its definition, and how these help in my career. And establish a positive and good image in PLN, so that each participant can feel comfortable.

I think that before creating a podcast, you must set goals, manage the content , and create a personal learning network. For example, promote your own podcast platform on social platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc., and communicate with your own audience or followers, and build your own audience group. In this process, communicate and interact with the audience to complete the promotion goal. This kind of interaction can promote personal podcasting platform, career development, professional knowledge acquisition and even cooperation and co-creation.

For example, a few podcasts I usually listen to, a podcaster is a YouTuber at the beginning, she uploads some film review videos on YouTube first, builds her own audience group, interacts with them, and then understands what they are interested in. , And then set up her own podcast, and use YouTube platform for promotion. From time to time, she will answer audience questions on videos or podcasts, or read comments and give feedback. The other is also on YouTube at the beginning, uploads some  story-telling videos, and then after accumulating a certain audience she started to use podcast. She would let her audience share stories that happened to themselves and read them aloud through videos or podcasts.

However, with the popularity of these platforms, some people will use these social platforms to spread rumors, malicious comments, or steal the privacy of others. Especially when the broadcaster is a internet celebrity, the impact and damage will be more serious. So when you publish your own remarks on the Internet, you must first think about whether your remarks will cause harm to others? Or will it leak the privacy of others, etc. So the privacy and security issues involved in social networking sites are still a big issue.

The digital age has made the development of personal learning networks easier than ever. After reading this week’s readings, I learned that PLN learners will expand relevant connections to people and talents around the world who are willing to share their interests and passions according to their needs. PLN provides individuals with an unprecedented ability to contact and connect with leaders and experts from all over the world, and to gather communities, resources and information that cannot be obtained purely from the school campus. Personal learning networks can be made up of people you know through face-to-face and virtual network connections.

Join a social network, subscribe to blogs, make comments, and post on Twitter. Doing so will not only learn more by yourself, but also contribute to the learning of others. But for me, I prefer to browse what everyone has posted and occasionally post my own thoughts or comments.

The things I like are usually related to art and music themes, but sometimes I try to get out of this circle and try different things. The advantage of PLN is that it has no borders and is more flexible than studying in the classroom. If you can remove the language barrier, then the whole world is your classroom.

Most students now use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube to develop their personal Internet majors. And I use Instagram and Pixiv more often, because I like drawing, so I often share my work. Also fellow many illustrators and browse their works. Find creative inspiration from it, and sometimes exchange drawing skills, drawing software, and comment on each other’s works. And through this opportunity to communicate, you can get to know many drawing fellows. Sometimes if someone thinks your work is good, you may receive a business proposal, and you can draw and make money. I also watch YouTube. Some Illustrators will record and upload their own drawing process. Sometimes there will be some suggestions for drawing skills in the comment area, so that both the uploader and the commenter can learn and communicate with each other. But no matter on any platform, there will be a shortcoming, there may be malicious comments or stolen works, etc. So establishing a digital identity on the Internet has both disadvantages and benefits
