  Case: Social Media Butterfly
Ms. Ellies is a young teacher who is trying to make her way into her new school with students and parents. She accepts all social media requests from parents and students. She posts regularly about her social activities with friends outside of school and sometimes posts pictures with students in class during class activities for her friends to see. Mrs. Ford, one of the more experienced teachers advised her to be careful with her post, but Ms. Ellies didn't listen.
Concerned for her behavior Mrs. Ford wants to take action without hurting Ms. Ellies, as she is new and very enthusiastic teacher who engages students in their learning.
What could Mrs. Ford do in this case?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In my personal opinion I think that the best thing for her to do would be to make a completely seperate instagram or facebook page so that way she can post things or pictures about her students and not have to worry about anything else getting flagged or her getting in trouble. Another thing that I think would be important would be to get a waiver from the parents giving her consent to be able to post pictures of the students.

Comments: I find this solution to be the best, parents should be very aware and they need to approve how a teacher is using social media rewarding their children.

Comments: I agree about the professional social media account. Loving what she does and wanting to share it is great, but instead of saying she should stop you should just explain there needs to be a seperation of work and home life.

Comments: Making a separate account and not adding students is definitely the path to take. At any time your teaching license can be suspended or revoked simply for pictures or posts on your social media. Remember it is public information so your students can view the profile at anytime.

Comments: I don't think this is the best solution. I would advise her to not accept parents on social media over making a whole new one. Teachers are human and shouldn't need separate social medias, instead they should monitor who they let see their lives.
