Twitter and Facebook

We are facing the social media challenge every day with the students. As a result of a recent cyberbullying situation, students are no longer allowed to use Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and any other social media site during the school day. They are allowed to use these sites at home but they must follow the Acceptable Use Policy regarding what they post on the Internet when using the school-owned devices. It has been very difficult for some students to understand that they did not purchase the iPads and cannot do whatever they want on them. I gave a short presentation on Monday, December 12th about ownership, the AUP, and cyberbullying to the entire high school. Many of the girls still feel that the administration, teachers and parents do not have the right to look at the content on the iPads whenever they want. Hopefully, this misconception has been dispelled.
