Many people use Facebook to be in contact with other; however, that creates a controversy about “teachers and students being or not friends on Facebook”. Some students think that is a good thing to have their teachers on Facebook so they can be in touch with and have another way to notify of an emergency. Teachers also say it is a valuable strategy for class because, they can create groups and share information; and be novel. On the other hand, students may be annoying if they do not respect the teacher; for example, sending many texts despite the hour or posting a rude comment. Having your teacher or your student on Facebook may change the image you have of them because you will see personal information. In my opinion, you can be friends on Facebook with you teacher or student; only, be responsible about what you say and respect their information. Do not judge, they can also do the same with you.
Teachers and students FB friends might not be a good idea. Before sending or accepting a friendship request in FB, we have to think about the consequences that it can bring. For example, FB can be a useful tool to be in contact with our teachers/students, because you can share information which could help you in the classes. However you must to check what kind of information is visible for others people including your teachers/students; may be some post can be taken personally by them and it could get the teachers/students angry, although the information isn´t for them. In my opinion, I think we must knowing about what kind of people we will be FB friends with also we have to take care about the information that we share and hiding what could carry us trouble with someone else. Concluding teachers/students have better maintaining contact by email in order to avoid any type of problem between them, it is also a more professional option.
These days, many people hace a FB profile, like me, and the advantages are that you can chose whom you want to be friends with. Un the case of a teacher these would be some reasons to accept being connected with his/ver students. On the one hand, depend con the student's age because is no the same thing to give accesos of tour private información an underage student- teenager- than an university student. But, if a teacher decides to share its private information showed in FB accepting all the invitations from its students, it has to be very careful about the kind of tópica or información posted on it.
I disagree teachers and students should become friends on Facebook. Teacher and student relationship in an unbalanced professional relationship when they make use of social medias, because teaches don’t have privacy, for example, when teachers upload photos, students can take advantage to copy the photo to create a meme, etc. And for that reason, the teacher can be affected through the bulling. Also the teacher can distortion the student expectations because if they see that teacher drank a beer, they would form a different image of their teacher, but not necessarily all the things can be negative, because through the social media the teacher can communicate an emergency message to some students or just one, and it will depend of the grade of confidence that they have do.
Would you like to know what your teacher thinks about you, based on what you like to post? If your answer is no, you shouldn't be considering to add your teacher on FB; it can be annoying if you teacher wants to know everything about you and you like to have free speech and a lot of privacy. While, it can be annoying for you it can also be a good reason to add your teacher because, in that way you can let her/him know if you are not going to be in class the next day and you can get a new friend for life. However, no one is perfect and not because they're a great students or great teachers means that they're a good person and they might talk behind your back with their friends about something that you said or posted on your Facebook. On the other hand they might be a really nice person and you will feel really confident with him/her. For these reasons I think that if you know your teacher/student for a while and you see this person with values, you can say that it can be a good friendship and you should add him/her.
Social networks can be helpful to have acces to impressive tools as a teacher. You can be in touch with the parents and the students, however there is no limit, parents always want to be asking the same thing several times, and dont respect weekends, holidays etc. For example the students often search for the teacher's profile on facebookthe majority because they want to be in touch, but some of them because they want to find an embarassing photo of the teacher and unpload it to their groups and make fun of the teacher and even ruin the teacher image. On the other hand, for teachers it can be good to have their students near, to help them with problems that usually parents don't even know they have. For this reason be facebook friends with your students in my opinion is not correct, there are more risks than benefits. Instead you can choose some of them to be facebook friends after they have graduated specially the ones you can trust.
A relationship between a teacher and a student should be mostly professional. Some people would think that it is convenient for a student to be a fb friend with a teacher, maybe it is not. On the one hand it is acceptable because you could maintain communication with someone you can consider your mentor a colleague; someone you can write to if you need gelp or some sort of a professional advice. However, this is mostly correct when you have already graduated. On the other hand, having a teacher as your fb friend could be unprofessional beacuse you wouldn't have any privacy, while you would be mixing a professional and personal realtionship; you couldn't anything strange because you might be misjudged by the teacher. However, the most important reason should be, that it could be misunderstood, like a teacher-student inappropiate relationship that could lead to several problems. For this reason, it is unprofessional, in my opinion, for teahcers and students to be Fb friends.
Should teachers and students be Facebook friends? Many people have a Facebook, what would happen if you had a student friend. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to this relationship. On the one hand, the teachers can share education information of the class. A profile gives information through videos, pictures and articles, for example, the students can see the information and add your comments online. On the other hand, the teachers cannot share anything, because always teach good behavior, for example, cannot write aggressive comments, photos or pictures that inspire bad expressions, because the teacher can lost the authority in the class. In conclusion, Facebook is a good tool in the actuality but if you don’t know how to use it correctly I think you should not add your students as a friends.
I had experience was a work two years ago ,one of my students send me request friend on facebook. I dont accepted the request , she told me : why you dont accepted my request ? I told her cant accepted because you are my student , she told me okay. The next day went my job the parents of my student accused me of send message and photos her. I could defend, my student only told that because I dont accepted request. Facebook is dangerous if accepting people than you dont meet.
Currently, all people use FB to communicate with their friends or just relax. However, if you are a teacher, I do not agree to accept applications from your students, I give you some reasons why I do not agree; First, you can not share bad things, like heavy jokes. Second, if you go to a party, you can not post pictures of yourself drinking beers, it is not a good example for students. Finally, you need be careful in your social networks if yo decide to accept them, but me advice you wouldnot it.
