Teachers on Twitter
Just as our article on Facebook and social networking pointed out, there is a fine line between personal and professional life online. This time it’s a teacher in Scotland who is being investigated for inappropriate Tweets during class.
“Have three Asperger’s boys in S1 class – never a dull moment! Always offer an interesting take on things.”
Another said: “The thought of having some of my S4 beyond exam time doesn’t bear thinking about – for them as well as me I suspect.”
Twitter is completely public by default. Unlike Facebook, you don’t have to get permission to read someone else’s posts. So it means any of your students as well as your friends could be following you. Be careful what you tweet for!
