Don’t Vent About Students
You may forget that the student you’re ranting about is a friend of one of your friends, and might still be able to see your status updates.
Find Out If Your School Has A Social Media Policy
Some universities now have policies for faculty use of social media: You may not be allowed to friend students or discuss work at all, even on your private account, so make sure before you update your profile.
Don’t Log In When You’re Upset
A few teachers have been fired because of nasty comments they’ve made about their schools or students. Mouth off to your friends in person, and wait until you feel calmer to get online.
Only Post What You’d Be Proud To Say In Person
Don’t get flirty, overly risqué, or sarcastic on students’ walls, photos or in messages and chats. Remember that just because it’s online, doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
