- Less concerned about teachers communicating directly with parents. Not really a problem unless they are having a problem or argument.
- Need to have the mindfulness to step back and get someone else involved if there is a disagreement.
- General rule of thumb. No unmediated electronic communication between a teacher and a student.
- Digital communication inherently strips out that humanity, so why not have it mediated.
- Take whatever steps necessary to make it difficult to be found by your students.
- Make accounts as private as possible.
- Select different social media channels for different purposes.
- Difficult to pull things back once you put them out there.
- How to be a transformative principal: Communication is the key to all of this.
- Post unto others as you would be posted to.
- 1:1 education - when schools provide the technology, they need to play an aggressive and firm role in monitoring what kind of activity happens in school.
- The real problem is bypassing the schools network.
- Ongoing education, clear acceptable use policies, more education.
