If I were to create a PLN on a topic of my choice, it would be on teen mental health. Prior to engaging in a social media campaign, I would study the age group I am targeting. I would also research what is the most effective way to reach them through social media. I believe I am targeting two groups when I look at teen mental health, teens and parents or people working with teens. Others on social media could view me as a leader in teen mental health because I work with teens on a daily basis. Teaching grade nine provides me with a lot of insight on how teens mental health effects their schooling, social and personal life. I believe that Instagram and Facebook are the two largest widely used social media sites for both teens and adults; therefore, I would start with those two sites to get my social media campaign started.
I love the diagram you used to promote teens and mental health. I think this topic is so important and more needs to be done in schools to provide support. When I see what teens have to deal with in this world of social media, it makes me feel thankful for being 22! I might suggest trying to use TikTok in some form or another to spread your social media campaign. I think it might be useful to reach kids in grade 9.
