The technology steering committee for the district will use the new policy to educate teachers about the risks in using Facebook, specifically. Among the concerns: the potential for disclosure of too much personal information, as well as the inability to control who can view postings, since "friends" of friends can read Facebook pages; and teacher exposure to student posts that may reference the use of drugs or participation in illegal events, which the teacher must then report.

This looks to me like the district just wants to stick its head in the sand and not take responsibility for problems the students may have. Wouldn't the district want teachers to see what problems students may have so they can provide the proper assistance? Also, how are teachers supposed to educate students about the possible problems they could encounter with putting personal information on the web?

THis was shared on twitter tonight. I had seen it before, but this came at a particularly good time. Combine that with the South African billboard that Thomas Friedman points out in his talk about his book, "Hot, Flat, and Crowded" that goes like this: "German Engineering. Swiss Innovation. American Nothing!" NOW ask yourself, "Do we have time to debate this stuff (filtering policies, etc) any longer? The answer is a resounding NO!

Technology and the Problem of Change

The more powerful technology becomes, the more indispensable good teachers are.

In brief, research shows that schools that only restructure (change the curriculum, add new roles, reorganize) make no difference in teaching and learning. However, schools that reculture (as well as restructure) do make a difference if they (a) focus on student learning; (b) link knowledge of student learning to changes in instructional practices; and (c) work together to assess teachers and school leadership to make improvement.

If, for example, I were to limit my workday to 9 hours, of which 7.5 were in school, how could I conceivably read and correct papers from the vast majority of my 192 students in order for those corrections to be part of a meaningful learning experience? Do I limit the amount of work I assign in order to keep up with it? Do I shortchange the feedback to which my students are entitled? Do I allow the responsibilities of effective teaching to consume time that should be available for things outside of my school responsibilities? None of the three choices is truly acceptable, yet in reality for many teachers such are the options from which they can choose. Choices like this are just one example of the pressures that many good teachers experience, and that can help drive them from the profession.

It's time we work smarter not harder. We don't have to be the center of the learning experience. Teachers should be really creative travel agents that set up the trip for the students to explore, explain, get lost, fail, connect, help someone else, make a difference (a real difference). If you have interest or create it you just have to get out of the way. It's not easy to do this, that's why we need to work smarter and share the load. It's just to hard anymore to do alone.

I wonder if the fact that the National Archives has hired their first "Wikipedian in Residence” will help change the minds of some of those academics who now reflexively tell their students how evil the site is. If a large traditional keeper of information can work in that online space, maybe it’s not so bad after all. :-) http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/politics/conversations-dominic-mcdevitt-parks-national-archives-connects-with-wikipedia/2011/06/02/AGCYDWHH_story.html
