Remember the "good ole days", when students and teachers had such great relationships? The students knew that when their teacher walked in the classroom, she or he meant business. All of a sudden, every single studentwould jump in their seats and sits up straight, with their hands folded on top of their desk. What has changed so drastically since then? Why, technology of course! The huge hit wesite entitled Facebook is taking our century by force.
With almost every human being now having connections to Facebook, the lines to communication and "sight seeing" (pictures and albums) have become as simple as cake! As I go deeper into my Education Major, I see a huge need in controlling what I put on my Facebook. Would I want my students seeing my personal conversations with my own friends, or pictures of my latest beach trip? So many younger students now have connections also to Facebook, and I am realizing already the importance of protecting my personal life. The worst thing, I believe, that a teacher could do with their students, is allow them to become personally involved with their private life. When I do become a teacher, I will want respect from my students. However, if I do not keep my personal life my own business, I am afraid their will not be much respect. Students ( We were all one of them so we all know) tend to become very nosy!
