As an educator, I think it is important to remember the line between work and social media. I keep my Facebook profile very private and strongly believe that teachers should not be "friends" with students or parents (I am not even friends with many staff members). It is hard to believe, though, that others can gain information about you even if you are not a Facebook user.
After reading this article, I feel as though your life can never be "private" again. Recently, a friend of mine suspended her Facebook account for several weeks while being interviewed for a new job. Little did she know, I am sure that if the company wanted to dig deep, they could have found out an abundance of information through this social media powerhouse.
Although I am not planning on getting off Facebook, this article does make me wonder who exactly can see what AND will our lives ever be private again?
This article sure gave me something to think about. I don't think I could give up Facebook but I always forget that others can find a way to read your profile. If you look up your name using a search engine, it is surprising how much information is out there.
