    Just 18 percent of U.S. school teachers use social media to connect with students and parents, and only a quarter of teachers report they would like to make it part of their lesson plans, according to a recent survey.

    One of my concerns or issues is this very thing - how can I ensure my students are using these tools appropriately when it will not only affect me and my job but also their potential employment future as well. How do we keep the professional/academic side of it separate from the personal/social side of it?

    I just read this, too! I like the idea of keeping notes from department meetings in a google doc that can be shared within the department, since I tend to lose separate emails in my inbox.

    I don't know if this has been added, but there should be professional development for google apps application to the classroom. Look through all the slides and you will find familiar items related to every classroom. There are ideas for using google docs as a way of keeping record of journal entries, sharing scores with parents, and even signing up parents for conferences.

  • The company states that it actively looks for anything online that could threaten the safety and well-being of students in the district, including cyberbullying and threats of self-harm. These could be posts that are initiated from school, or not; using school-owned technology, or not. The technology also allows for the flagging and reporting of drug use or class-cutting – or really anything publicly posted by a student that could be viewed as problematic to the school

      Seems like a good service to take burden off of administrators as they have a full plate and in the grand scheme of things, $40,500 seems fairly reasonable. Curious if price is based on number of students in that school?
  • The reality of course is that if a child wants to circumvent tracking and monitoring software, it is pretty easy to do.

      Was a question I had, if district were to invest in a service, how easy would it be monitor. When our school caught kids drinking via Facebook/Twitter they caught on and changed settings to private.
  • Most people would agree that parents have a responsibility to keep tabs on what their kids are doing online.

      YES!! I'm amazed when I see some things on FB or Twitter for some of my students and how do parents not have more control and make them take it down.

  • that schools monitoring social media amounts to a violation of a student’s privacy. I am not particularly convinced of that. Most students I speak with are savvy enough to realize that what they post in public spaces online is open for anyone to see.

      With anit-bullying laws becoming more prevelant, the issue of privacy is going to become more irrelevant b/c it's actually against the law
  • $40,000 could be used to hire an additional school counselor, at least part-time. At a time when school budgets are shrinking and support staff are routinely being cut, are schools trying to cut corners by relying on a technological solution to a problem?
  • And are they right for doing so?

      Our district needs to cut nearly $3 Million dollars from our budget over a two year period, so it's a matter of weighing priorities. Student safety vs other things in place. All depends what current money is going towards

    A service called Geo Listening is available for around $40,000 for districts to use and they monitor students social media. Questions about student privacy and whether this is a service schools can afford
