I've met people that I never would have met. I've thought through the concept of privacy as I reach out on the other social media, and am getting ready to do more w G+. I share a lot for my job, and I also write, so I am fairly open and public. My line in the sand is that I don't friend students anywhere till graduation. It's sort of become a rite of passage. The beauty of this is that graduation isn't "completion" to me, it's start of life. Anything I've taught is not really relevant till it can be practiced. Life is where you practice. So, after that time is when they have questions and comments. Following them or being reachable in life is something that's been very effective to me as a teacher. <br /><br />I have students follow me on Twitter. I don't tell them to--I have a school account, but sometimes I tag and crosspost. And I'm public--easy to find. I don't block them. The way I see it is this--if you want to retweet my education twitter chats and read my awesomely informative shares and articles, more power to you. I write about ed reform, ed tech, and personally I love fitness and sustainability. On a great day, you can read about kale:) <br /><br />The bottom line is, though, secretly I'm modeling responsible professional use of social media. Anything personal goes into a "close circle" on facebook or doesn't get posted at all... <br /><br />Students really need professional models--I take a lesson to teach about cleaning up social media for those of them who might benefit, too. <br /><br />Thanks for this post--sorry the comment's long:) dcaseyrowe@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633870229321936278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560104573698494637.post-32453987752698809622013-05-30T12:18:06.272-04:002013-05-30T12:18:06.272-04:00Thanks for making the videos - they do a great job...Thanks for making the videos - they do a great job of explaining how it works and love the local/national participants - I used to work with Lyn HiltLiberryGurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034658239441834930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560104573698494637.post-69945454676623188232013-05-30T09:57:55.739-04:002013-05-30T09:57:55.739-04:00Great post, Stephanie.
