What are the benefits of a diverse and inclusive PLN in social media sharing that understands where you are coming from with messaging that impacts the community?
A diverse and inclusive PLN in allows us to target a broad audience that will have their own unique and different views. This diverse and inclusive PLN will then be accepted by many other people who can relate and understand the perspective we are sharing as well as report, share and comment their own experiences on the subject.
Communities in general are very diverse with people coming from different ethnicities, backgrounds and occupations and being able to have a diverse personal learning network that everyone can be a part of is crucial for everyone to understand the information that will also impact themselves. Everyone should have a right to know what is happening around themselves in the community so it is best to make sure that the PLN includes all groups and is also easily accessible.
Good uses we see today for this are like news platforms, open social media groups as well as public posts. These methods on different social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Youtube are great outlets to use to create topics and subjects that can be reached by all audiences.
Hi Kevin,
I think that this is a great point! I think that you are totally right about how communities are very diverse and that it is important for you to have a PLN that includes everyone. It is often a challenge to include everyone, and if you have this skill, you are already a step ahead!
