We discussed the idea of opening up facebook to students in our districts during a discussion in one of my LIS classes the other night. We found one really great use for students- They can create a “profile” for historical figures. You can search one that was made for George Washington- it included famous quotes, education and work information, and other applications written from his point of view. Some of this took quite a bit of effort and a lot of research on their part!

I completely agree about the need for the professional and personal “wall” on Facebook. There is not 1 statement on my Facebook account that I consider inappropriate, but I do think there is a line of professionalism that is crossed on a Social Networking site such as Facebook. I love FB, but I will soon have 2 Facebook accounts… 1 for my personal friends and family, and 1, under a separate work email, for my professional exploration and use. Just as with email and phone calls and “contract time”, it’s important to separate professional and personal. Just my feeling. Take note, though… I am THRILLED that the district is moving in this direction. It makes me a proud LMS.
