After the semester of studying EDCI 338, I have learned more about the important role of social media in our modern society. As we are living in the age of advanced technology, social media is really essential, which goes deeper into the details of people’s daily life.

  • Do you continue with your created content and your network, how do you use your skills in professional practise?

During the several weeks blog posting, I have already gradually adapted to post weekly blogs. I feel that the weekly blog is a periodic summary and recollection of my study and life. By learning this course, I have also developed the habit of blogging every week, and even now I updated my social networking application  more frequently. Social media provides a great platform for people to share their lives, experiences and opinions.

I plan to continue my weekly blog to share my life, learning experience and opinions. In some ways, it also improves my English expression ability. As a student with English as a second language, posting blog can enhance my English writing ability, moreover, reading comments and replying them can help me know whether the ideas are accepted by everyone or not. In general, posting blogs and creating contents are a great sense of achievement.

  • Social media platform do change our life in everywhere…

In recent years, many instagrammer, YouTube and blogger become popular via social media platform. It has indeed changed the fate of many people, and many people with musical talent or perform talent to fulfill their dreams. To be illustrate, in the recent years of China’s rap boom, most rappers have emerged because of the increased use of social media. However,  social media cannot just bring fame and praise to them. Among many people who are becoming popular, people have different opinions on Kris Wu, a Chinese rapper, on social media. “The battle between Kris Wu and Hupu, a popular Chinese [social] media platform that focuses on sports news, has recently gone viral online, with millions of Wu’s fans and JRs (a nickname for Hupu fans) taking to Sina Weibo to defend their respective fandoms” (Li, 2018). People should treat both criticism and praise rational, and they do not need to care about excessive criticism. Everyone need to keep their balance level of acceptable comments on the social media platform.

Overall, after learning to create PLN and know social media platform, I feel that I know social network more deeply, and I consider many aspects that I have never thought before. In some ways, EDCI 338 change my life. It is said that knowledge is infinite, and I will keep pay more attention on social media, after all our society is updating in the era of developing and progressing science and technology.
