Teachers+and+Students

==Teachers often try to use Social Media sites like Facebook to help them connect with their students about homework, tutoring and other school matters. But others fear the social-networking sites are breeding inappropriate relationships between teachers and students.==

==** Guidelines for Teachers on Friends and Friending Students  **==


 * 1) ====Do not accept students as friends on personal social networking sites. Decline any student-initiated friend requests.====
 * 2) ====Do not initiate friendships with students.====
 * 3) ====Remember that people classified as “friends” have the ability to download and share your information with others.====
 * 4) ====If you wish to use social networking as a part of the educational process, please work with your administrators and technology staff to identify and use a restricted, school-endorsed social networking platform.====
