I really enjoyed the discussion with the guest speaker this week, Jesse Miller. I did not realize how harsh some of the regulations are revolving teachers’ social media outside of the classroom. I have a picture of me and my family out for dinner as my Facebook cover photo. We happen to all have wine in our hands, and this talk really made me reflect on that and think about if that is something I would want professional contacts and/or students to be able to see.

I also found it incredibly interesting to find out that schools can see what goes through their networks, so sending things on social media are basically public (at least to the school). Obviously this means teachers need to be very careful with what they post or send when at school.

During our learning pod meeting this week, we talked about how we are enjoying the course, and our posts are going well so far! We also noted that being a teacher comes with many responsibilities and so it is important to know what is expected of teachers inside the schools they work at, but also outside of the schools they work at. The school act, on the bclaws.gov website goes over some of the responsibilities that teachers need to know and upkeep.
