Facebook Now Growing By Over 700,000 Users A Day - AllFacebook, Feb 27, 2009 <www.allfacebook.com>
I mentioned Facebook a couple months ago in a workshop I gave on the role of Web 2.0 resouces I education. A question was aked that I had not before considered: Should a teacher “friend” his/her students on Facebook? My off-the-cuff response was “Absolutely not.” My gut reaction was that doing so would violate the teacher/student relationship and could lead to actual or perceived inappropriate interactions.
Let me be frank. When I introduce Facebook to educators, I admit upfront that I don’t see the fascination with this form of communication, and more over, I don’t see its educational usefulness. Other Web 2.0 tools like wikis, blogs, threaded discussions and such, yes; but Facebook, no.
So I didn’t feel truly qualified to answer the question about friending students and felt a little guilty responding so definitively. (Continued in LMC Magazine.)
