As social networking sites such as Facebook become more and more popular with students, school administration is having a difficult time defining if teachers and professors should be able to use Facebook. Some cite that it makes sense to go where students are, while opponents say that encroaching on students’ privacy can cause unforeseen consequences.
Some schools are creating lists of things that are acceptable for teachers on networking sites. Tolerable activities can include exchanging messages relating to the course or assignments, or creating a custom group for old classmates to reconnect. However, chatting about non-school subjects or ‘poking’ maybe frowned upon.

Generally, if the purpose is to “inform” or transfer information, I believe there’s nothing wrong if Teachers will use Facebook as a means of communication. The most important thing in social networking is to make sure you will not debulge all information about the user, only basic information.
I think that teachers should be allowed to post whatever they want, say whatever they want, and take pictures of anything they want as long as it isn’t accesible to students and/or parents. There is no law that states “Educators are not permitted to use social networks during the duration of their career.” The Bill of Rights even gives the freedom or speech upon all the nation, so the school administrators aren’t obliged to take that freedom away.
