Power of Connection
For my PLN I will use primarily social media platformsLinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTubeto develop my network. LinkedIn is great for connecting to users of the platform who are professionals in your field. Twitter brings together so many different people from all walks of life, who share ideas and insights throughout the day. Facebook provides many groups that professionals can join, and YouTube gives people an opportunity to connect to others interested in posted or in posting content.
Information that I will post in my professional profile will include my name, title, field of expertise, my background in education, my years of experience, and my current status in terms of work. I will also post hobbies and extracurricular activities that will allow others to identify my areas of interest quickly and easily. For instance, specific text I would include would be: manager, five years experience, working on doctorate in business management, hobbies include astronomy and leadership studies. It is helpful to post a little bit of information in ones PLN because this helps to show others who you are and what you are interested in and can facilitate making and growing relationships with others. It also helps to add to ones professional credibility (Park et al., 2014).
