Son of Facebook
Sorry....one more thing about Facebook.....I was recently a "victim" of it. A student and her friends decided to make a group of like minded students (past a present) who thought our school "sucked". My picture along with a few other teachers was posted there. Anyway, the student is one of the ones I enjoy more, so I was taken aback by it a bit. Anyway, she was suspended and after, on her own, appologuized to me saying they were just looking for "any" teachers pics, but could only find the ones posted......she meant it more as a slight against the school than the people.... ANYWAY, tuff to explain here, but my view is that people in grade 8 do silly things without thinking, and do allow thing to spiral via their peers. I'm quite confident she has learned her lesson, but I think the lesson here is for us teachers to better explain the ramifications involved and impress on the students that it's not just them and their computer and their buddy on the other end....I'm really convinced they don't see the millions out there. How do we show them that?
