Consider how you can use the PLN interactions of this course to further your digital identity post-term. What does it mean to have a digital identity in your industry of choice and can your current PLN be used to help professional development post-course? Additionally, as you progress through the steps of your career, can your PLN be relied on to open professional opportunities?
After this course, my PLN has greatly developed to become more professional within certain online communication. I tried hard to engage with my group members to gain a reliable and trustworthy PLN. If I did not do this, my group members would not want to work with me if I am not active. This will further help me in other classes by maintaining active so others can rely on me for questions, answers, and group work. I also gained knowledge of the importance of protecting personal information. I do not want random people to know where live, my age, or anything that can put me at risk. Also, I am more aware to not trust one source for reliable information.
Moreover, as a future teacher, I need to consider my PLN now, so my PLN is appropriate for students and a variety of viewers. This will allow my future PLN to be a reliable source, similar to Brad Baker. This means I do not share unreliable information or person opinions about sensitive subjects. To engage my PLN and students PLN, I will use social media communications via websites, hyperlinks, and emails. This will also for students to gain diverse knowledge through media.
