Our parents have a history of taking their complaints to social media, and by complaints I mean naming names and making vile accusations. One parent was upset that a student with Down Syndrome had allegedly hit her child, which then was followed up by comments from their distant relatives complaining about having "those students" in the school! We have had a few staff members, and our building principal, maligned by name. Sure, you can take those comments off, but once they have been seen, it's too late! <br />Our school will be checking with our legal council, at my advice, about how libel our school would be in such instances. But I can tell you, that If my name went out in a parent rant, I would seek legal repercussions. I wouldn't want the school to be a part of it, but they may have to be if it was on their page.

Remember that any information communicated in one place should be duplicated in all outlets. For example, if we place an announcement on the FB page we must be certain to also post the same announcement on the school webpage.<br /><br />Don't forget, not everyone has internet access at home. How are we making sure all parents are getting information we intend to communicate?<br /><br />Also, consider the implications of tagging students in photos posted to the FB page. The school must take the lead in the security of its students in this regard, whether parents have "signed off" or not. If we allow other FB users to "like" our posted photos then we have just OK'd friends of "likers" to view images of our students, learn their names and discover (with a minimal amount of research) where they live. The school's address is on the FB page, right?<br /><br />Just some things to consider before deciding.janthenathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571212909381982886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529666501169716810.post-86897432641347969172011-08-27T02:24:14.925-04:002011-08-27T02:24:14.925-04:00not only am i for schools having facebook as my ch...not only am i for schools having facebook as my childrens school in washington did but im trying to get their new school set up with one nowdaddymavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671950447860350075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529666501169716810.post-24268523053039863462011-08-22T16:52:46.685-04:002011-08-22T16:52:46.685-04:00Great post.

Our admin. is worried that someone will use the forum as a means of attack, and, we may not be able to respond appropriately... <br /><br />It's still all in the discussion phase. <br /><br />I think if our community climate was different, we would already have one.<br /><br />Thank you for your opinions, as I will use them in my list of "PROs" in our discussion. :)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347476640230086170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529666501169716810.post-58866859822258173382010-08-10T19:57:23.930-04:002010-08-10T19:57:23.930-04:00My parents last year loved our classroom Facebook ...My parents last year loved our classroom Facebook page. I limited it to an invitation only page to respect the privacy of the students. We sign a video/photo release and every parent has the option to refuse participation. I had 21/35 parents request invitations last year and 16/30 requests from this years parents and school is still a week away. It is the most effective method to share information with the largest amount of parents besides using text messaging on my cell phone.-tnprekteacherTnprekteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852794376121621673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529666501169716810.post-77812264972453688632010-08-07T03:51:36.512-04:002010-08-07T03:51:36.512-04:00Hi,

I update in a few times a day and parents absolutely love it! It is an additional tool to keep parents informed as well as a way to post thoughts on education (blogs, articles, videos). I think we need to take advantage of tools that are free and available. Note that we do not post pictures on there yet because of custody issues, etc.<br />http://facebook.com/kentelementary<br /><br />Great Post.<br />@mrwejrChris Wejr (@mrwejr)http://mrwejr.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.com
