Teachers, students shouldn't be Facebook friends: report
CBCNews - April 11, 2011
Ontario teachers should not be Facebook friends with students or
follow them on Twitter, says a report put out by a top regulatory
body.
The recommendation comes in an advisory report released Monday by the
Ontario College of Teachers outlining social media guidelines to its
230,000 members.
"We're not suggesting [teachers] shouldn't use Facebook, but we are
suggesting that the private profile that students have and exchanges
between teacher and students are not appropriate," said Michael
Salvatori, registrar and CEO of the college.
The report specifically advises teachers not to accept or initiate
Facebook friend requests with students and advises them against
following students on Twitter.
