This blog post does an excellent job of showing how a Personal Learning Network (PLN) can be built with real intention and applied to specific goals. The detailed table outlining how social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit are used for different learning purposes made the post especially relatable. It’s clear that your PLN isn’t just theoretical, it’s actually supporting your path toward becoming an optometrist in meaningful ways. The focus on accessible learning, such as engaging with health professionals online and using microlearning formats, really stood out to me. I hadn’t considered Reddit as a space for professional growth before, but seeing how you use those subreddits as a safe learning community was really insightful.

I also appreciated the depth of your section on digital privacy and ethics. The reference to “Terms of Service; Didn’t Read” was something I had never heard of before, and it seems like such a helpful tool to actually understand how platforms use our data. Your breakdown of concrete steps, like using VPNs, clearing cookies, and setting strong passwords, was both practical and easy to follow. It made me reflect on the areas where I could strengthen my own digital safety habits.

One thing I wonder is if you could expand slightly more on how you assess the credibility of health-related content on social media. With so much misinformation online, it might be helpful to hear what criteria you use to determine whether a source is trustworthy, especially when health is such a big part of your PLN. That could add an extra layer to your strong reflections on digital ethics.

Visually, the blog is well-structured and easy to navigate. I like the way the photos and headings break up the content without making it feel cluttered. Adding a small infographic or a screenshot of one of your favorite PLN accounts might bring more of your personalized learning approach to life visually.

Overall, this is a thorough and impressive post that connects digital tools, ethics, and inclusivity in a way that feels authentic and grounded in your goals.
