What will be my own personal policy for using social media with students and/or their parents?
My social media policy is to keep the position of the teacher. I am not agreeable to use it between a teacher and a student because teacher should keep the position of the teacher. I think even different for different services not good if teacher and student use it for the purpose of having nothing to do with a class. However, I think that it is good to use homework question and class information in a purpose. Therefore, I think that it is not good to use all age in such a purpose. I contact student’s parents in a telephone or notebook for messages if I become a teacher. However, they have the good point that a contact can easily take early. So, it is to help for teacher. Teacher need to be careful of privacy. If teacher made a friend with student in LINE or facebook, student can see the teacher’s deep privacy. It will teacher need to be careful of.
A conclusion, it is necessary for each other to use it carefully. And it is necessary to decide a purpose well, and to use it.
