Facebook: Students and Teachers Michael Handelman
Info • Article: “Social media in schools: Should teachers and students be friends?” • Author: Jeanette DeForge
Why Facebook • Most students visit it at least once a day • Students want to be friends with their teachers • Password fatigue • Usually no official policy against teachers friending students
Alternatives • Personal webpages • Weebly • Wikispaces • Email • *All should be password protected*
Possible Downsides to Friending Students • Students can alter information…like photoshopping images • Teachers are held at very high standards and private information may be upsetting to students and parents • Students can make accusations to hold against the teacher • Generally considered un-professional • Teachers should be friendly not friends
