Hi Leah!!

It is nice to meet you!! I have always wanted to visit Thailand, and I would appreciate some travel tips from you. It’s so cool that you’ve been travelling to so many places and have had the opportunity to experience all those different cultures. 

I really enjoyed your list of networking tools for travellers. Most of the networks I had never even seen, but there are some I will have to try in the future. As you mentioned, these are great resources for meeting new people, and they could help build Personal Learning Networks. I also enjoyed your reflection on the TED Talk, which proved how adaptability to technology is essential. It was an effective way to express your overall point further. 

One suggestion I would make would be after you mention your anxieties about the reliance on technology and the introduction of new social media platforms. I would like to hear your thoughts or suggestions on how you have managed those anxieties through your educational history. 

Overall, I enjoyed your post, and I am excited to hear about what you learned while travelling and how that relates to the course!!

Hi Therese, 

It’s nice to virtually meet you. I’m looking forward to seeing how our pod groups project turns out! I enjoyed your post. I especially enjoyed how you connected your personal experiences with social media! Your example of using the Registered Nurse (RN) YouTube video to deepen your understanding of Alzheimer’s disease stood out to me, and it demonstrates how learning is applied through platforms like YouTube. 

One suggestion for your blog post is to incorporate lists or charts within your paragraphs, or consider breaking up the longer paragraphs to make them easier to read. I did the same thing in my blog, so I am looking into adjusting that for my next post as well. 

Overall, your post was very well done. It was very organized and visually appealing. I appreciated all of your personal reflections and examples. I also appreciated how your post drew on academic insights to reinforce your perspectives.

Hi Lili! 

Nice to meet you virtually! Your post stood out to me, and I enjoyed reading it, especially your work with UBC STEM camps. In your post, I found your reflection on digital identity very interesting. Your strategies for maintaining a professional presence are so smart, I would have never thought about using a middle name to stay less searchable. I am going to try doing this. 

One suggestion for your blog is to add small subheadings to break up the text a bit, or add some more photos that are relevant to your topics. This may make it more readable and help the reader navigate each section a little easier.

Overall, your post is very engaging, and I appreciate your tips and personal reflection.
