I just posted about the same topic this week, sparking a discussion about the same issues: <A HREF="http://www.teachforever.com/2009/01/psychology-today-talks-social.html" REL="nofollow">Psychology Today Talks Social Networking Issues</A>.<BR/><BR/>Besides what I wrote about, I notice that I tend to post as little as possible on social networking sites, even about completely innocuous things I'm interested in. That coupled with the privacy controls I use mean that it's very hard to connect with people with similar interests unless you meet them offline or in some other capacity. Thus the only people I socialize with are people I already know, which is great, but leaves me wanting. Such is the curse of the teacher.Mr. Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06960561773050547167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634909410274994488.post-20578804496923280272009-01-07T20:00:00.000-05:002009-01-07T20:00:00.000-05:00It's easy to forget that when you type stuff into the computer you're also potentially communicating with an infinite number of people. As long as you, or anybody else regardless of their profession, remember that there's absolutely nothing inappropriate about it. IMO. Not as a teacher. Just an interloper.mom2015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634909410274994488.post-43881036051441814072009-01-07T18:37:52.669-05:002009-01-07T18:37:52.669-05:00My mother tells me that, yes I have always been hilarious. But she can't be trusted. She finds humor in some very strange places...TheAMAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11396426375048565394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634909410274994488.post-87825047392660519822009-01-07T18:15:00.000-05:002009-01-07T18:15:00.000-05:00I think it is fine to communicate with anyone. We are human, we socialize. Teachers are huge in any child's life, and making a connection with a teacher can only be good (unless the connection includes, you know, bodily fluids, precious as they are and all).<BR/><BR/>It's like hugging. As a man (?), when I hug a kid, or allow them to hug me, I am confident some people think that is perverted or something; I've heard it! Well, we know it's actually good. Humans hug, dammit!<BR/><BR/>As long as your facebook or myspace pages don't have dangerous (risque, foul, naked, liberal) stuff, who frickin' cares? All the concern is just silly season.<BR/><BR/>Have you always been hilarious? Just curious.tfthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04089587797789660734noreply@blogger.com
