With the innovation of science and technology, mobile Internet technology is becoming more and more mature, which promotes the development of social media. In the mobile Internet environment, there are many social media platforms. For example, people use Instagram platform and youtube social media platform. The application of social media in the process of teaching and learning can timely release the corresponding teaching information and teaching notices. Help teachers and students to break the regional and time constraints. In the learning and teaching work can also be used in the mobile Internet era of social media platforms to improve the efficiency of education and teaching.
Which social media platforms are beneficial in education?
Video content on YouTube can be a powerful educational tool. YouTube is a video website, this website allows users to download, watch and share movies or clips. And these videos are a great way to provide learning.YouTube, as a video sharing platform, does provide a rich variety of learning resources. Self-directed learning is one of the very popular ways of learning. It allows users to learn in their own time and at their own pace according to their interests and needs. Skill-based learning is a learning style that people use a lot on YouTube. Many users can use YouTube to develop skills in areas such as auto repair, photography, music, gaming, fitness and more usually. As an example, if you use YouTube to conduct a search for: how to replace the windshield wipers on my 2020 BMW 330i. The YouTube video will provide detailed instructions and steps to help viewers understand how to repair and replace their own windshield wipers. This is a great help for users who would not have replaced their windshield wipers before and helped them save a large portion of their money.
Science education is also a learning segment that takes place on YouTube.YouTube has numerous educational channels and content creators who make videos about history, science, literature, and a variety of other topics. These video producers will use plain language and vivid video images to teach. This can often lead to learning content that goes beyond what is learned in school.
Meanwhile, I have studied EDCI 339 in the last semester. In 339 I learned to use canvas to create instructional videos. Canvas is an online learning management system that provides an integrated platform for instructors and students for course management, instructional communication, and sharing of learning resources.
When working with the vulnerable sector, how does social media fit into professionalism and regulations?
I think when it comes to working with vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and children and the disabled. Social media must be careful to protect their privacy. Be careful about sharing personal information. On social media, try to avoid sharing too much personal details such as ID numbers, phone numbers, home addresses, etc. Such information may be utilized by unscrupulous people.
Pay attention to online etiquette. Avoid posting overly personal or sensitive information on social media, such as family conflicts, health conditions, etc. Try to maintain a positive and healthy online image.
The authenticity of the messages is also noteworthy because of the fact that they are facing a vulnerable group. Social media can be a valuable platform for sharing educational content relevant to disadvantaged groups. However, this content should be accurate and informative. False news should not be allowed to deceive them. This is because they may lack a way to verify the authenticity of the message.
There are also problems associated with using social media communication in educational settings. For example, safety issues. Social media is from the internet. Examples include cyber attacks and data leakage. Educational institutions should establish security technology measures and systems to secure information and protect the property and information of schools and parents.
Media literacy is an individual’s ability to correctly use social media, including attitudes and perceptions of media. Ability to judge in the face of different information. And the ability to understand complex situations. At the same time, I have the ability to think personally, to face all kinds of positive and negative news, to make a correct judgment, and the ability to create when using social media. Generally speaking, media literacy refers to our ability to correctly use social media and correctly enjoy the resources brought to us by social media.
Many celebrities hire a professional team to help them run their social media. First, they need to find a platform that suits them. You need to analyze the percentage of audience in each platform. For example, some software mainly publishes entertainment media, and some software mainly publishes civil news, so you need to choose a social platform suitable for your own development. The second point is to highlight personality traits. They need to publish some positive and meaningful posts, attract the attention of the society, spread positive energy, and effectively enhance their own popularity. Thirdly, they also need to pay attention to hot social topics, participate in the discussion and post their positive opinions.
What are the benefits of being in the public eye and having a PLN?
In today’s digitized society, people establishing their presence on various online platforms can allow them to reach groups of people from different backgrounds and geographies. By presenting themselves in the public eye, users can significantly improve their social opportunities and social surface. Such exposure can improve the user’s social opportunities and social surface. In addition, more business opportunities and partners can be attracted by publicly demonstrating individual or company work results, project experience, and business advantages. This will bring a lot of benefits.
Building a community with online tools provided by the employer can be limiting, what are the perceived restrictions and benefits?
Using online tools provided by the employer may result in a lack of fluency in use and a lack of functionality. Some companies may choose to develop their own in-house applications to manage employee workflows and data, but such applications may not be fully tested and optimized, resulting in imperfect functionality and vulnerability to failures. Here’s an example of my own. I work at Amazon. Our company will use an app of our own to clock in and check salary details. But the tool is really imperfect. Usually I can’t punch out and leave successfully. This is unfriendly to our staff. Therefore, our internal app is updated all the time. Some companies may choose to develop their own in-house applications to manage employee workflows and data, but such applications may not be fully tested and optimized, resulting in imperfect functionality and vulnerability to failures.
There are also benefits to using online tools provided by your employer. Trust in the company’s own platform. Using the tools provided by your employer can provide a sense of security. This gives us confidence that our data won’t leak. Because this platform will exclude non-users of the company. This is helpful for employees to keep their own data secure internally.
Delivering information in a connected society requires verifiable resources, how do build a PLN to rely on?
It is essential to build PLN that can be relied on, using dedicated websites and platforms. For example, I’m a big fan of infinite flight. Infinite Flight is an amateur Flight simulator developed by Infinite Flight LLC. The game is available for Android and iOS. When I have a problem in playing, I will use the special communication platform created by the game company for gamers to communicate with other users. This is our website. https://community.infiniteflight.com/latest. These networks typically provide a wealth of knowledge and resources shared by their members. This is very helpful for building PLN that can be relied upon.

How do those, who are veteran storytellers, minimize the risk of sharing misinformation?
First, they should know the facts, look for strong evidence to support their arguments, and then think about whether they should publish the stories. Second, they should find the parties to ask, and with permission to record and video, so as to avoid any mistakes or omissions in information. Third, they need to strengthen their media literacy, have personal thinking ability and judgment ability to collect information. It is necessary to judge the credibility and reliability of this information. If incorrect information is found, the original post should be deleted immediately and clarified.
How to best address negative replies and reviews which reflect your personal values?
First of all, we need to calm our emotions, so as not to bring irreparable consequences. After controlling our emotions, we need to think about why we receive negative responses and comments, whether the problem is caused by different values or the problem is caused by our own attitudes. After thinking, we should reply to some comments in a rational way that we think the misunderstanding caused by poor personal information, try to communicate peacefully, and remove the misunderstanding. Some comments with malicious language can be ignored, or the comment can be deleted to prevent more people from arguing. We should respond to those negative replies and comments in a positive and correct way, and build a positive and positive network society.
In the media space, there are many pros and cons. Both we and public figures must learn how to promote the benefits and avoid the risks.
Benefits:
Public figures interacting with the public in the media space can bring more visibility to themselves. In addition, it can effectively enhance the public’s favorability to themselves, enhance the affinity between fans and themselves, and shorten the distance between public figures and civilians. At the same time, it can also establish cooperative relations through the network platform. Can greatly improve the opportunity to receive advertising and the opportunity to make money. It is also very easy to find reliable partners on the Internet and establish a cooperative relationship. You can also post positive videos to enhance your reputation and set up a positive public example.
There are many people who can freely publish their opinions and opinions on social platforms. So there are also language attacks on the Internet. As a public figure, there is an audience group, but also there will be a negative group. So in the free speech network will be more likely to receive language attacks and cause controversy. Many public figures have quit social media and entertainment because they can’t stand the pressure of public opinion. Moreover, on the network public platform, every word, every behavior and action of public figures need to be very careful and cautious. Because as public figures, their every move is watched by millions of eyes, and if they accidentally break laws and rules, they will bear very serious consequences.
Social media plays a very important role in promoting global cultural diversity. It brings a lot of channels and space for everyone to communicate and allows anyone to express themselves without any barriers. People can freely enjoy and share the contents of other different cultures. It thus contributes to the promotion of cultural diversity.
How does social media engage in communications?
Social media is a widely used platform to engage in many forms of information dissemination.
Social media platforms: Social media platforms are one of the most common and major new media operating channels, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Weibo, WeChat, and so on. These platforms offer a wide range of user groups and diverse interaction opportunities.
Video sharing platform: Video is a form of content with high interactivity and communication power. Therefore, video sharing platform has become an important channel of social media. Including YouTube, tiktok, Vimeo, DailyMotion, etc.
Online forums and communities: We can build our personal or brand image and influence by answering questions, solving problems, and providing support. Example: Reddit.
These new types of social media have brought many conveniences to people, but at the same time, they have also brought some new problems and challenges.
Online communication can lead to misunderstandings and bad communication. Since people’s communication on the Internet is usually based on words and symbols, it may lead to misunderstandings.
Remarks and comments made on the Internet are usually spread and shared. As a result, some bad and offensive remarks are spread on the Internet, affecting the mood and life of others. It especially affects minors.
Internet communication can also lead to issues of privacy and security violations. Many social media platforms and apps require people to provide personal information and data. This information can be misused by hackers or third parties. In addition, fraud and cybercrime in the virtual world may also lead to the threat of people’s personal information and property.
PLN is learning networks constructed by individuals for the purpose of acquiring and sharing knowledge and resources. If the creator wants to communicate with people from different fields, then the PLN is inclusive. Anyone who wants to communicate can use it. But only if the creator is willing to communicate. For example, if the creator is only willing to communicate with people in their own field, this leads to ininclusiveness. This will discourage most people from sharing.
If one person using PLN finds value in content shared by others, they may do so by retweeting or commenting. Or repost content to their own networks to amplify those views. Usually the AI will automatically push these messages for you. For example, you often learn videos on YouTube about repairing your car. YouTube will give you plenty of recommended videos about repairing your car. This process of content dissemination can help to expand the reach of certain views or ideas. It can be understood and analyzed by users associated with it.
The policies of employer social media communication expectations.
The company’s social media policy is a system to regulate the words, deeds and behaviors of employees on social media platforms, with the purpose of protecting the company’s image and interests. Inappropriate comments and behaviors of employees on social media may bring negative impacts and potential risks to the company.
Employees guarantee the confidentiality of company information: Employees should avoid disclosing information not publicly available to the company on social media. For example, the information about the new iPhone should be kept secret before the Apple event.
What are the benefits of a diverse and inclusive PLN in social media sharing that understands where you are coming from with messaging that influences the community?
A diverse PLN can give us different ideas and insights from human beings with different cultural backgrounds. We can gain a deeper understanding of the views and ideas of other regions or other niches. Diverse PLNs can also make online communities more inclusive. It helps us to listen to diversity and remove prejudices and misunderstandings. It can also help us learn to better understand and respect the differences between people. We can also learn more and expand our horizons by interacting with different people in a diverse PLN.
Overall, social media platforms have always actively sought to create a diverse, inclusive, healthy and orderly community environment. Such an environment safeguards users’ information security, freedom of expression and diversity. We look forward to a better, inclusive and healthy Internet environment in the future.

When employers see my digital identity, they should be surprised by the travel tips I put together.
Social media uses the Internet to help humans to communicate and connect with friends, colleagues, and family members without face-to-face interaction.

Social media increases the odds and risks of cyberbullying. There are many strangers on the public platform, and we don’t know their true identities. This will make it easy for others to carry out verbal attacks on us on the Internet. This will have a great psychological impact on people of different ages.
Social media can also cause reputational damage. Many people maliciously spread rumors on the Internet, but they don’t know that it is illegal.
