In 21 century people’s lives are full of digital, each of us will have our own digital identity. A digital identity is the subject of information about a person, organization or electronic device that exists online. We use our user name, avatar, password, date of birth and online interests, such as the types of videos we watch most and our purchase history. To form our own unique digital identity. When we have a digital identity, big data will know our interests and provide us with targeted content and advertising. We can also create various Social Media platforms that allow us to get closer to other people and communicate more easily. At the same time we can also create our own personal learning network.
PLN is a global online community, and PLN has an unrestricted openness. Ideas, resources and learning materials can be shared with educators around the world. It is maintained through various Social Media platforms and can be enhanced by following useful blogs and video content. In addition pln is very special value because everyone’s new ideas and information are changing the world faster than ever.
Of course we can develop our own professional network through various social media, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and so on. Because these social media have better privacy and are used by a large number of people, we can better share our ideas and experiences.
I think we should give more consideration to security when we expand our professional learning network, because our personal private information is the most important anyway, only by ensuring the security of personal information can we form a healthier network environment and we can communicate more effectively. If can not guarantee data security, people won’t share it on PLN. Another aspect we need to learn to deal with different information. There are some spam messages that we should simply ignore, and we need to choose the more useful ones in order to help us learn and share the right ideas. In my website, I will create a real and positive digital image as much as possible, and I will share the right information, not some misinformation that misleads others. I will also consider online safety. I will not disclose my private information such as my bank card.
Hi Chengzhen, I enjoyed reading your blogs, you give some very details explanation and thoughts on the PLN and digital identity. In my point of view, you have some different points of view on the PLN which I feel quite interested. You mention that the big data know our interests and provide us with targeted content and advertising, in nowadays, our information are exposed when we entered into the internet. Do you think the leakage of information is a good thing or bad thing? It gives us conveniency so that we don’t need to search for many things to get our needs, but what if in the future, we change our preference, will the big data still realize our needs? At the end, you mention that the privacy is important, and this is something we should protect ourselves from being used by someone has purpose of it. I think it is important for all of us to create a safe and civilize network environment like you said.
Hi Chengzhen! that’s a great post with an interesting VR map. I see you put most of them into personal and resident, but I’m confused about why there is no one between the institutional and visitor? In my opinion, Facebook should be there because it’s an app that can share your post with others on the internet and also can be used to give corporate publicity. And I totally agree with you that more consideration should be given to security when expanding professional learning networks.
Hi Chengzhen. Your drawing skills are good. The software you use the most is video social. Video sharing is now the mainstream style, very interesting and I like it .
