Facebook Banned: Chatting with your teacher is a no-no.
Imagine the you are a teacher checking out your wall on Facebook when you notice that several of your students have posted messages. They are all asking you about the same thing: a class project.
This scenario seems simple enough, right? Well…if you happen to be a teacher working in The School District of Elmbrook (Wisconsin) boy, oh boy, are you in trouble.
An article that I read in The School Library Journal explains that, as of February 10, 2009 “communication between staff and students via social networking and IM” has been banned.
What about a student calling a teacher? According the article, “not a problem.”
Huh?
