Social Media Policy

Social Media, to me, is used for just that, social sites where you can keep in touch with others and conduct personal business. I'm still not completely sold on using them for professional reasons. However, I'm beginning to see where they may be another way to communicate with students and parents. With that being said, here are my thoughts and feelings on social media policies when pertaining to professionalism.

If a social media site, such as facebook and blogs, are going to be used for a professional purpose then they are to be used as such. They are strictly used for communicating classroom events, homework, and daily activities. They are reserved for the individuals intended; students and parents, and do not include friends and family members. All communications are public, so treat them as such. Personal comments/questions are to be addressed through a private sector, such as, personal email, phone call, or in-person meeting. Remember to keep all conversations professional with appropriate content, accurate information, and constructive responses.
