When working with the vulnerable sector, how does social media fit into professionalism and regulations?
When working with vulnerable populations, social media can take a more holistic approach to accommodate the feelings of the vulnerable. Through the breadth of social media, the reach is large and the response can be more rapid. In order to accommodate professionalism and regulations, social media must be able to protect the privacy of its users and impose timely penalties for inappropriate speech or behavior.
Benefits
PLN in education satisfies the needs of all students by providing more flexibility and reducing barriers to learning. It divides learning into three parts – Performance, Action and Expression, and Engagement – and provides multiple ways to achieve it.
Each student chooses their own unique path of learning without being forced to do something they don’t like to do.

Hi! I love your point on PLN being able to personalize and remove all barriers to learning for students. Learning is definitely divided into many different categories and thus one singular linear way of teaching is not viable for all students. Performance, Action and Expression, and Engagement may require different approaches/platforms for students to excel in.
