As if teaching in today’s environment is not hard enough! It seems that any technology humans come up with, someone finds a way to pervert it. I do know that the school system where my significant other teaches has a policy prohibiting teachers from interacting with students on social sites. Apparently, it is for some very good reasons.
Below is a link to an article about cyberbaiting (why does that sound so nasty) at eSchool News
Sad.
I showed one of my coworkers whose wife is teacher this article. He told that in her district just outside Memphis, it is a terminating offense if a teacher “friends” any student on a social medium.
Strange world we live in.
