Facebook Privacy

  

The Schaffhauser article, "Suspended Teacher in Facebook Incident Ignites   Debate: Should Online Privacy for Educators Exist?" touches upon some of the challenges that accompany   sharing information on the internet. In this particular case, a teacher made   a comment on Facebook about a student in her class that was meant for her   friends but seen publicly (including by students). After reading the article,   answer the following questions:

• Should the teacher who posted        the comment to her friends be disciplined for her remarks she thought        were made in private? 
• How responsible are educators        for their online content? 
• Should online privacy exist        for students and educators? 
• Should we be able to separate        our professional and personal profiles on social networks? Would it        actually be feasible? 

Respond to at least two of your   peers with useful feedback.
