Re: Facebook....Facebook....Facebook

Wow! Vanessa, that’s a situation that I dread. I would not want my students to find me on Facebook because it would break that professional barrier that we have a teacher – student. I have a friend who is a high school teacher who freely adds his students to his My Space/Facebook page. He does not post anything that would not be deemed inappropriate on the sites, rather he uses it as a form to get to know his students a bit more. His profile setting are air-tight, and he constantly monitors each site. For me, Facebook/MySpace is a place for me to interact with my friends/colleges.

By the way, you handled that question very well. I’ll keep that in mind if I encounter that situation.
