Explore the video provided and reflect on the themes of a PLN in a professional capacity

After listening to the conversation between brad Barker and Jesse, my perspective on PLN in a professional capacity broadened. Brad Barker is active in his community and involves himself in various positive engagements, like supporting indigenous communities, and his involvement in anti-racist committees. I also really enjoyed Jesse’s comment on cancel culture and how it has gone too far. How we are fast to call out and cancel people instead of allowing them to recognize what they did wrong, reflect, and apologize and be able to move on. Mistakes are not intentional so we should be able to reflect and learn how to be better in the future to avoid these mistakes again, instead of being cancelled. 

Which social media platforms are beneficial in education?

I think the top social media platforms beneficial for education are Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook. I think because those platforms reach a very large audience and countless amounts of voices have access to them to share, teach, and learn. Other social media platforms may also be beneficial in education but without reaching as many people, and being as accessible to others they may not be as advantageous. 

Consider the equality that exists when all have the same platform to engage community dialogues.

I think it was be a huge success if everyone had access to the same platform to engage community dialogues. It would allow endless contribution from so many different positions, granting access to a wider variety of views. Community engagement from all perspectives would allow for an inclusive and diverse environment.
