We should be aware that even when we are not at work and are using social media, we must still adhere to all workplace policies. This includes not making any unpleasant comments on social media or bothering another coworker. All of this may result in the employee being dismissed, since this is a completely fair cause. As a result, employees should be cautious about what they share, whether at work or elsewhere.
Which social media platforms are beneficial in education?
There are several social media sites that may be used to assist you with your schooling. One of the most popular is Google Classroom. Although it is not totally free, it does include a fully working free tier that enables for remote teaching and assignment providing. Google Classroom makes use of well-known G Suite resources including Google Docs, computation sheets, online presentation tools, and a video call tool (Google Hangouts). Google Classroom’s simple and well-known design, basic functions offered for free, and excellent accessibility rates all make it an obvious choice for school and university courses when high-end supplemental choices and tools are not required. LinkedIn Learning is a learning platform and SaaS that mostly focuses on business and technology. The platform’s classes are given in video format in seven different languages, making it sufficiently accessible regardless of your geographic location. LinkedIn Learning is a paid offering for LinkedIn members with enhanced profiles that seeks to provide new, better qualifications for people looking for new career prospects. Facebook also makes it simple to interact with your community by allowing you to do so through commenting, direct messaging, stories, secret groups, and post sharing. Instagram is another another excellent medium for connecting with other students that follow the same educational sites that you do.
When working with the vulnerable sector, how does social media fit into professionalism and regulations?
Social media may be an effective tool for connecting, educating, and advocating. The same features that make social networks enticing – a wide reach, real-time connectedness, and connecting with like-minded peers – also offer problems. Whether you use social media for personal or professional reasons, you must take care to meet your professional commitments. Focus on the topics and avoid denigrating personal comments when participating in online debate. Be aware that remarks made online may result in accusations of unprofessional behaviour or legal action for defamation. Assume that regardless of privacy settings, any material you post on social media is public and readily accessible. Even if a post is erased, screenshots captured by another user may reveal it.

Hi! I really enjoyed reading your blog post, and I think you made some great points about how social media platforms can be utilized in education. I found it interesting you brought up GoogleDocs, because I hadn’t considered it at all, but I definitely agree it is incredibly useful in education. When working with the vulnerable sector, I agree that legality is imperative and one must always be careful of how they use social media. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Asia,
The reason I brought up google docs was because it was a popular social media platform used by my school and it proved to be really helpful. Thanks for your feedback
