Social Media Etiquette

With the rise of social media, people of various backgrounds, careers, and personal lives have found a new outlet to share things about themselves and stay connected with others. While there are many benefits that can be had through social media, a person can also experience negative impacts due to their activity online if they make any variety of unwise decisions. To go over this topic more in depth, I have made a presentation covering proper social media etiquette and provided an example of a professional who was negatively impacted by his actions online, that person being James Franco in a situation of messaging a 17-year-old fan.

Chapter 2 of The Connected Educator focuses on connected learning communities and the roles they play and the importances they hold. In a connected learning community, there is a three-pronged approach to connect and collaborate, which leads to professional development. These three prongs are: 1) local community, 2) global network, and 3) bounded community. A local community is a professional learning community that has a face-to-face structure focused on student achievement. A global network is also a personal learning network, in which there is a diverse group of people connecting to achieve personal growth. A bounded community is a community of practice or inquiry that is made up of committed individuals with common interests who want to develop deeper connections in order to create systemic improvement (Nussbaum-Beach and Ritter 28).

The Connected Educator: Building Your Connected Learning Community

Chapter 6 of The Connected Educator opens with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. It reads, “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” This chapter is all about opening doors to create a personal learning network and embarking on a personal path of learning. With technology growing in its presence in all areas of life, including in personal life and career life, it has never been easier to form connections with others. It gives us the opportunity to develop positive and working relationships with people who share common ideologies or goals, whom we may never have connected with otherwise.
