Social media platforms often generate images, thoughts, and opinions related to entertainment and distractions from stressors or daily life. However, it can be used to benefit education systems through various methods. This week’s video emphasized how teachers can use their PLN to learn from and share ideas with others. One aspect that was highlighted was to get connected with other teachers and educators who share similar interests. Examples such as Twitter and Facebook were provided as they can increase connection and provide educators with an opportunity to share ideas and successes. In addition, they also highlight barriers and failures to certain education plans, which can help other educators to avoid making the same mistakes or give alterations to their current sources. Furthermore, we should consider that social media exposes many lifestyles, backgrounds, and ideas that may not be appropriate for certain settings or considerate to vulnerable populations. Social media has the job of sharing vital news with audiences, but those creating and sharing content must take into account professional boundaries and regulations. One has to use their learning environment to make judgments that are fair, considerate, and informative to allow those to learn while also ensuring safety and professionalism. This can work through using tools to express warning messages such as triggering and violent content. It can also address various types of knowledge, skills, and assets that exist. The key takeaway from these readings is that these tools can be used effectively in learning environments, however, they must be well-understood, before they are utilized and further developed.sider that social media exposes many lifestyles, backgrounds, and ideas that may not be appropriate for certain settings or considerate to vulnerable populations.
