It’s great that the Ontario College of Teachers helps teachers to understand social media and how their accounts can impact their students. My daughter is a teacher and is always careful with her posts because she never knows who is going to see them.

It’s so important to take bullying over social media seriously. I hate the new ways that things can be hidden by apps that delete within 24 hours as well.

How awful that somebody did that to your daughter! I think it’s great that teachers have these guidelines to consider, because there are so many potential pitfalls related to the use of social media.

I’m pretty well versed in the social media world but I’m sure as a teacher it has to be so aggravating!

Social media can be used for many good things, but it’s often misused for things like bullying. It’s truly sad how people use social platforms to torment others.

I am very pleased to see that the teachers have support and resources to help them keep up with the every growing world of social media. As a parent it is nice to know there are other out there trying to look out for our children as well.

I will have to check out the Ontario College of Teachers Find a Teacher page. I think it is great you can look up your kids teachers and see there stats.

In reply to Aeryn Lynne. Aeryn - you are absolutely right. Some are understanding social is here to stay and you better get out ahead of it or at least try to keep pace and then some advisories and businesses simply ignore. I have seen some missteps lately from businesses and groups. It's smart thinking on Ontario teachers part that they had this training and guidelines available.
