    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook. But just the same we as educators need to know the good and the bad so we can help our students and their parents become better cyber citizens

Should Schools Monitor Students Social Media Accounts - 1 views

  • 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.
    • mverbrugge50315
       
      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.
    • mverbrugge50315
       
      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.
    • mverbrugge50315
       
      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?
    • mverbrugge50315
       
      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

    I have always lectured about the Cold War but this would be a much more interesting way for students to learn about it, teach each other about it, comment and do analysis.

    The article focuses on the spontaneity of using youtube in the classroom and the idea of finding specific videos and the importance of a visual aid in learning. As opposed to showing one long film, Youtube enhances our ability for that 'teachable moment' or specific idea that you want to get across to students.
