This entire check list is very important. I think that as teachers we need to make sure our students understand this. As adults who grew up without social media we too need to be aware that it is monitored. Those of us looking to become teachers should be very aware of what we share and like on our pages

This line to me is the epitimy of what this semester is about. So many teachers are terrified of allowing students to be online. While I observe I see the faces of teachers who have been doing their job a long time, I think they believe that the computer is their competition. In reality the computer can be their biggest ally. I think most instructors know that having a child use a computer at home is great for research or paper writing. But many are not aware that we can use social media to enhance our teaching and benefit the understanding that the student take from our class. Social media is not the enemy or our competition if we use it correctly.
