Re: [LM_NET] Should Educators be Afraid of Having a Facebook Profile?

[Nancy Willard <nwillard@CSRIU.ORG>]

Hey Keith, the page that this blog links to should be MUST READ for any
educator who is on Facebook. Great find.

Basically, every school staff person should realize that what they post, who
their friends are, what their friends post about them, will be used to
answer one question:

Are you a person we trust to be with our kids?

Please do not friend students on these sites. Way too many problems.

Nancy
