I encourage students to follow people that they genuinely admire and from whom they want to learn, not just celebrities, thereby contributing to a positive digital identity.

I think this is a great point. Adults and students should be reminded that social media tools are not just for following celebrities and athletes. It is a real tool that can connect students to experts and organizations in the fields they are interested in. Using social media to connect with a favorite author is not a "waste of time", but very proactive and engaging learning. - Alex Kenkelen (EDUC 611-901)

Educators have an obligation to investigate and talk with students about social networking sites, some of which promote inappropriate, illicit behavior.
-
This was my initial thought about social media and education. The potential for inappropriate behavior is very high. But now I realize that it would be much more effective to take preventive measures: a responsible technology use class or a frank discussion about the implications of having these accounts. Doing this might save administrators from future incidents. - Alex Kenkelen (EDUC 611-901)

You have to maximize your downtime.
-
I agree with Arik Hanson that as teachers, we must maximize any downtime that we have. However, I do not think that downtime should be spent reading education blogs and twitter posts. At least, this shouldn't happen all the time. Everyone needs time to remove themselves from their jobs. Not being able to do causes burn out. I personally look forward to the little breaks during the school day so that I can turn off my brain momentarily and recharge my batteries. - Alex Kenkelen (EDUC 611-901)
