In chapter 5, goes more into detail about how to use tools to create the personal learning networks. The chapter begins to explain how what to look for on social media like hashtags for best growth. By providing these small steps the author is able to help people become used to the technical side of the personal learning networks so they will not want to give up. These tools will also help users create a more collaborative network that is built around themselves.
explained was the RSS (Really Simple Syndication). This is where all updates from different websites can be in one place. This is especially helpful with efficiently since they will not have to look through different websites for new information. Another tool explained is the use of hashtags. In the chapter hashtags help users find what they need by looking up the specific tag leading to different conversations around the topic.

This can help in my future in psychology because it gives me a way to new information faster. Since there can always be a new study or fact that adds to what I know in the future the RSS will give me a place all that new information can be found without me needing to feel overwhelmed or taking a long time to look for. It also helps me find new information that I never even thought about since the RSS gives any new updates.
Hey Jordan, you made it really clear how these tools can save time and make learning more organized. I agree that RSS would be especially helpful in psychology since new studies are coming out so often. I never though about how hashtags could also guide you toward specific conversations or research topics. Great job on your post!
