What is a personal learner network? A personal learning network is an informal learning network that consists of the people one interacts with and derives knowledge from in a personal learning environment. for example, your high school teachers or college lecturers, and professionals and influencers you follow on social media.
Here i will be sharing the people in my own personal learner network that i follow on social media that I gain knowledge from. One of my interests is videogames and making videogame review videos and uploading them to my own YouTube channel.

This is a YouTuber who goes by the name of SomecallmJohnny. He makes video reviews of video games on his YouTube channel and he’s been making reviews for over a decade on YouTube.
If been watching his content for years, and I really like the mostly chilled out and personal style of the stuff he makes, and his reviews have taught me that not all video game reviews have to be as generic, cookie cutter and soulless as the reviews that major video game publications like IGN make, and he is also my biggest inspiration for making video game reviews.

This is another YouTuber who goes by the name of YongYea. He makes videos discussing the newest video game releases and the latest gaming news and controversies, as well as the occasional video game review and videos discussing movies.
Watching his videos has kept me up-to-date and in the know with the current video game news and controversies, and I also like the informative style of his videos how he presents the content in his videos.

This is a YouTube channel that uploads tips an tutorial videos for the video editor that I use called CyberLink PowerDirector. I use the mobile version of PowerDirector to make my videogame reviews, though the channel covers both the mobile ad PC versions of the video editor.
I have learnt quite a few tips for video editor I use from watching the tutorials on this channel and I have learnt how to use features that I never knew how to use properly.
This is here is Gaming Careers, they make tutorials for people who want to grow their passion for gaming into a profession. They use multiple online platforms like their YouTube channel where they upload tutorials, their Spotify and Apple Podcasts accounts where they upload podcasts of interviews with gaming content creators and industry professionals, a twitter page where they share links to their content as well as a few others.
I often learn and pick up a few things from watching the tutorials that they upload onto YouTube,a and I find their podcasts entertaining to listen to.
