How would you create a PLN prior to engaging a social media campaign on a topic of your choice.

Personally, I would engage a social media campaign by advertising ads through Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and TikTok. These social media apps are the most popular social media apps that people are currently using. Thus, advertising though the media can target a large audience. From there, I would create an online group chat where others can engage in conversation and share opinions. This can lead to strong ideas, answers, resolutions, and healthy relationships with one another.

Building a reputation and trust in a connected culture can be difficult, how are you building a network of individuals who are dynamic, reliable, & participatory.

Since my PLN hides my true identity with a screen, trust becomes harder when anyone can easily lie about their PLN.  Thus, my PLN must reach a standard reputation to ensure others my accounts are not fake, and I am a real person. For example, I try a maintain a standard reputation in Mattermost. To gains everyone’s trust, my PLN must stay active and communicate with others. This ensures my group members I can be reliable and my identity is true. If I did not stay active, my classmates would be unsure if I was reliable or even a real student. Overall, being active on social media and voicing opinions allows others to gain trust on one’s PLN. While campaigning through social media, I will be active to show supports I am serious about the topic.

 Are you leveraging healthy relationships from your PLN for growth?

From Mattermost, I am slowly gaining healthy school relationships. From keeping my reputation by staying active, allowed me to engage in conversations with my classmates. I can also read their blogs to learn more about them. This also ensures their reputation and I can build trust with them. Being active leads to healthy relationships in ones PLN growth. When campaigning a topic, I will use online group chats and engage in conversation to grow peoples trust and listen to others opinions and values.
