I totally agree with u. It’s a waste of time. At the first sight, looking at the title of the post. I thought the reason was that Facebook got more attention from students than the teacher did. But it’s about sexual assaul. Wait and see how it fails

Thank you for giving your perspective on this topic and defending teachers who use social media with their students. I love that you made the points about us being the scapegoats and about separating the personal and the professional. I had two teachers use Edmodo with their elementary classrooms last year with mixed results, but they both felt if they had introduced it to parents and students at the beginning of the year it would be an effective tool for communication. It works very much like Facebook, but is designed for a classroom environment. Social Media is here to stay and if used correctly can be a significant factor in education.
