I am a teacher. I love Facebook. And I'm not alone. The combination has prompted the writing of many articles which advise teachers about how they should handle Facebook in their professional life. In fact, my colleague posted an article about this issue in July. However, few articles have spoken to administrators and solid school policy. Since Facebook isn't going away anytime soon, schools need more than just "good ideas" for handling this growing network. From what I have seen, the website is usually blocked at school, but there must still be professional guidelines outside of school time. Administrators, if not yet addressed at your school, add a social media section to your teachers' handbook. A sound policy has the power to help administrators and teachers avoid sticky situations online.

Social media services like Facebook are becoming more integrated into our lives. It can feel almost natural to use such services, but we have to change our thinking. I'll think of ways to improve my site http://www.sightwordsprintables to educate teachers about this new issue.

I agree teachers should be very cautious about social media and maintain appropriate professional boundaries but we need to address the fact that they will challenged by all kinds of situations that blur the boundaries - online and in the real world - particularly if you live in a small community where your students might be the sons and daughters of your neighbours and friends.
