In the video, Brad Baker participated in many activities related to Aboriginal people and anti-racism, and established a health professional network through social media. PLN allows people to pass on their opinions and voices, so that everyone can share and communicate together, making PLN more diversified and inclusive. In addition, PLN has brought benefits to indigenous people and allowed them to reconcile with the public. PLN not only allows everyone to share their lives, but also lets everyone know more facts.
Consider which social medial platforms are beneficial in education.
Social media has been an important social tool not only in people’s everyday lives, but also as an important learning platform in education. As technology continues to develop, various social media platforms are emerging such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, and through this variety of social platforms, teachers can work with students to integrate social media into their everyday teaching and learning, making lessons more interesting and engaging and thus increasing student engagement. Social networking sites can be a great tool when interacting with students as this is what they are most familiar with.
With the influence of covid-19, all schools have switched from an offline face-to-face format to an online format using social media platforms, so more social media software is being used for education, such as zoom, Microsoft Teams etc. Compared to the traditional monolithic approach to education, online education is the new wave of the times and is also more diverse, enhancing active learning and providing convenience for students, as well as reducing the cost of teaching and learning.
When working with the vulnerable sector, how does social media fit into professionalism and regulations? Consider education, healthcare, and messaging to minor children via social media/gaming.
Social media, the internet platform that people use to share their opinions, experiences and insights, is now a part of many people’s lives. However, social media has also greatly affected the lives of people (especially young people) and the reasons why I feel that social media has had a huge impact are.
- online violence. In the current age of the internet, social media has become the cradle of online violence. And because bullying is much easier to do online than in reality, it has led to online violence becoming more and more widespread. There have been many incidents of online violence like this, for example, back in 2015, a Chinese actor Qiao Renliang was diagnosed with depression after a chain of intense work pressure and online violence, and his depression began to seriously affect his work and life, he was subjected to frequent complaints, replaced to his original role, and he was even banned from the acting industry for a time. After a year-long period of online violence, at only 29 years old, Kimi died by suicide due to depression.
- revealing too much personal information. While some people know how to hold onto their privacy, the same can’t be said for those teenagers. There are some people who have bad intentions to get information from photos, such as home addresses, school addresses, personal names, etc.
I hope that everyone has the ability to think independently and be a person who is able to take a stand without easily setting a position and using online violence to hurt others. It is also hoped that social media companies will strengthen their platform management and supervision.
