Does your district have a policy on teacher use of social networking...what's appropriate, allowed, forbidden, etc?
latest #15
everything is blocked pretty much!
We have access to everything social networking wise. I don't know that anyone looks - no written standrads.
We don't have a written policy, other than at TPLC it's highly encouraged to use them for professional purposes.
We have access - we give workshops on it and encourage use for professional networking. Like anything else we hope people use common sense
no but please share any resources you get from districts that may have it in place already.
most social networking sites are blocked, seems to be decided by one or two people in the tech dept......
Superintendent wants to create a written policy to make sure everyone is on the same page....mostly concerning Facebook right now
All social networking is blocked at school. At home discretion is encouraged and teachers have been disciplined (and fired) for bad choices
but all social networking sites will be part of the policy. Common sense things since we're the face of the school to the community
Would like to find someone who already has a policy in place but we may have to start from scratch
Most of it is common sense, but still would like to have it in writing just in case documentation is needed later.
School division has a Facebook page, so at least we know it will stay open for faculty and staff.
