I find it very interesting how quickly those connections that I built throughout the years became in a sense non-existent once I removed myself. It was stated, \u201cpeople and their interests in networks provide opportunities for the emergence of new friendships\u2026\u201d (Dron &amp; Anderson, 2014, Chapter 5). This really got my attention, as it\u2019s surprising how in many situations, once you remove yourself from social media, you remove yourself from many of the connections you made as well. Many of what I thought to be friendships, only carried its value on social media and not in face-to-face interactions anymore. With all of this being said, mapping out my visual network showed that the vast majority of my networks comprise of either those I\u2019ve made connections with through either the education or the media sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"text-indent: 40px;line-height: 2\">As a Professor in Television and Film Production at Humber College, I believe it\u2019s essential for me to stay connected with faculty and students, as well as those within the media industry. Blackboard is the learning management system we use at Humber College and is the way I stay connected to my current students online. Networking on <em>LinkedIn<\/em> with others tied into media, keeps me up-to-date with the latest trends and makes me more valuable to my students. It allows my students\u2019 to see who is in my \u201ccircle\u201d in regards to media, and provides new connections available to them, especially when they\u2019re trying to get that initial opportunity in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-indent: 40px;line-height: 2\">Looking at my map, I can really appreciate how everything is connected through <em>LinkedIn<\/em>. Being a professional in the media industry while teaching my trade, has lead me to have a very diverse network. The authors of <em>Teaching Crowds<\/em> (2014) explain, \u201cfor a learner in a network, there is typically greater value to be found in diverse networks than in those that are self-similar\u201d (Dron &amp; Anderson, 2014, Chapter 5). Thus, this has reminded me that I should take advantage of the opportunity to learn from the various talents I\u2019m connected to on <em>LinkedIn<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-indent: -40px\">Dron, J., &amp; Anderson, T.
