In today’s digital age, social media has transformed the way we connect, communicate, and learn. Personalized Learning Networks (PLN) serve as a powerful tool for learning through social media. As we have learned throughout the term, a PLN tends to be a self-curated network of individuals, resources, and communities accessible to us 24/7. PLNs’ have changed the opportunities we have and allow for substantial professional and personal development.

For our final project, we decided to utilize the platform we had been given to learn about PLNs, WordPress! Using WordPress, the group was able to connect and collaborate- which are both essential parts of a PLN. The goal of our final project was to investigate different social media platforms and how they act as PLN’s. We chose to look at 5 platforms: (1) Facebook, (2) Indeed, (3) Instagram, (4) TikTok, and (5) Youtube. Each of these platforms have components of the PLN’s that we have been examining this term. We will discuss how to build PLN’s using these specific platforms, how to manage them, and how to properly engage on them for optimal success.

Social media allows us the opportunity for personalized and lifelong learning. Our goal of this website is to make readers understand the importance and impact of PLN’s in our day to day life!

Enjoy! 🙂
