(Facebook, MySpace) use to our new faculty and staff members during
New Faculty Orientation. Several of our faculty have Facebook accounts
and have included students, alums, parents in their networks. While we
have an acceptable use policy, we thought it would be helpful to
include some brief case study/anecdotes of how teachers have stepped
in dangerous territory with students/colleagues/parents. The New York
magazine article on Horace Mann's Facebook issue is one horrific
example. If ISED members have brief accounts of problems arising from
Facebook/et al. use that they'd be willing to share, I'd appreciate
you sending them to me off-list via email. I'll keep your school
anonymous.
