For example (oh, let's say, Gender Studies or Composition class): Imagine you are an employer. Look up your classmates on Facebook and write an essay about which students you could - legally - decide not to hire and for what activities.<BR/><BR/>Or is that too humiliating, maybe? (Honest question.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link, btw!Plain(s)feministhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056404699624958898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-1144784060686107102006-04-11T14:34:00.000-05:002006-04-11T14:34:00.000-05:00I have only explored facebook and so to explore on...I have only explored facebook and so to explore one must have account--which I do. No picture though. Initially this was a great way to match my students' faces with the names on my roster. (I now have access to the lists that come with pictures which is quite convenient.) First, I was amazed at what they post. And second, they were amazed that "teachers" looked at them. I know they know that other people can see this stuff (they talk about facebook stalkers) but they think it is only people their age. I haven't announced to my classes this semester that I am on facebook. I saw multiple pics of one kid in his underwear--tighty whities--not boxers. And most shocking was a female student who has pics of her, her girlfriend and various other friends smoking pot. Pictures!! Sure, sure, I was no saint either--but I try not to provide physical evidence of any illegal activities. I am torn about whether to let it go, make a general nag-like warning to everyone, or confront her individually.kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975351996302093224noreply@blogger.com
