I thought I share a laugh/smile with everyone.
I experienced a student telling me that they've seen pictures of other teachers by looking up their names on Google. I have also know of students trying to add teachers or other school personnel onto their social networking pages. I think creating websites and blogs are great alternatives for students who would like to communicate with their teachers online.
Thank you for sharing this Tish. It's so true, some students would do that to their teachers. Sometimes it's not only the students are doing that but even the parents would do that. I have had parents who would ask me to add them on Facebook or other social networking pages. I had a teacher from the states when I was in middle school. We lost contact with each other but when I came here for college we found each other again through facebook. So now I can communicate with her throough facebook everyday.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know about adding teachers to my weblog. I'll think about it. But, there are some scholars that I follow to read about their work and researches. You can find your teachers on the Internet easily, I admit, because their scholarly works are published online most of the time.
