It pains me when I hear about school districts that are attempting to implement and impose social media policies that focus more on the "behavior" of educators as opposed to student learning. Last week I was fortunate to weigh in on one such district's journey in this area and share my thoughts on where the emphasis should be. The video clip of the interview can be found below.
After viewing it I would love to know what do you think. Where should the focus be when districts look to impose social media policies? Should there be any specific policies at all or is the best course of action establishing general guidelines? What should be the role of student voice in this process?
For some more of my thoughts on the role of social media in education check out this recent interview I did for School Webmasters.
