Blog 5# PLN & Education

In the video that Brad Bakers posted, he talks about how he used PLN, stresses the importance of leaving encouraging remarks on other blogs and posts, and exhorts people to do the same. He opposed racism in its entirety and subtly encourages us to show more empathy for other people when we disagree with their points of view. Do not veer off topic or bring up physical characteristics or appearances. Just the idea of solely having positive thoughts or constructive criticism makes you feel so good. In the current generation, social media and the education industry are intertwined. Many websites, including Chegg, are used to find the best solution to a problem. Though such platforms are not advised, they can be used as a guiding space. Coursera is another platform which can be used to get a crash course on any selected course. It tests and gives assignments accordingly which gives us additional technical strength apart from the courses dealt with in school. 

In addition to all of this, there are inter-institutional platforms like Brightspace and Coursespace that allow us to engage with one another while also forming groups to work on group assignments and other course-related tasks. In addition to this, there are additional networks like YouTube that allow us to see in-depth with any questions pertaining to any particular course topic. Everybody in this industry needs to be respected and treated well because both society as a whole and the social media platform are in a vulnerable position. Apart from all these, there are inter-institutional platforms such as Brightspace & Coursespace which not only help us view the instructions from the professor but also help us form groups and interact with each other in solving group assignments or anything related to the course. In addition to these, there are other networks such as YouTube which helps us view in-depth with any doubt related to any specific topic in the course. The whole society and the social media platform are in a vulnerable position, everyone in this sector needs to be respected and treated well. In order to ensure its safety and security, there need to be proper rules and boundaries drawn for each comment and severe penalties need to be imposed on people who try to invade others’ privacy on social media. There needs to be a group set up specifically for each social media platform to do policing for any abuses or complaints as such.
