1. What did your research tell you about how people share ideas in your fields?
Often people will share their findings through articles about events or their studies in both the environmental and anthropological fields. I was able to find multiple twitter accounts with professionals discussing and sharing their work with their followers
2. What tools will best allow you to learn about new ideas in your fields?
The tools that will help me to learn about new ideas in my field are social media accounts on both Instagram and Twitter. A lot of people find that it’s easy to access social media accounts to share their work because it’s quick and short, easy to get to the point. Blogs are also good for long term learning.
3. What tools will best allow you to connect with scholars and professionals in your fields?
Social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram are easy and quick to connect with scholars and professionals. I have chosen Twitter to work with because there is such a large array of scholars and professionals who tend to share what they find from articles to videos about the fields I am pursuing.
4. What tools will best allow you to share your own knowledge, experiences, and ideas with other people in your fields?
Like I’ve already stated, social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram will help me share my own research as well as share articles I find from other scholars and professionals to share with my followers. It makes it easier and quicker to share my knowledge.
5. How public do you want to be? Why?
I think it’ll be easier if it were quite public that way people are able to see my work as well as any work published by accounts I follow. Making a private account makes it difficult for fellow peers to see the work I have accomplished, and also people can’t share it with others, so making it public is the best way to go.
6. How will you engage at least once a week with your Personal Learning Network?
I will follow more organizations that reflect my beliefs and understandings in both fields of study, and tweets of my own knowledge and research will increase.
7. How will you know if your PLN is serving you well or not?
My understanding and knowledge will increase in both fields of study, as well as the amount I am on my account will increase due to interactions with other accounts.
