I am a young teacher and recently got started on Facebook. I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me out when it comes to knowing what is and what is not okay to post on my Facebook page. Originally, I thought I'd just try to stay away from anything work-related all together and just post about "my life." But as a teacher, so much of my job is "my life."

I've been posting up stuff like "made finger puppets in class today," which is fine, but doesn't really cover "me."

Is it okay to post things like "Interesting day. Was bit by one of my kiddos," and stuff like that? (Without giving away any personal info, ofcourse).

Thanks!

another thought I haven't read all the posts. In case this has been mentioned, I apologize for repeating it.

Just think what happened to the young teacher who put vacation pictures on her facebook (pics of her with wine and other alcohol). She was sure it would be no problem because only "friends" have invitations to her account.

Well, an anonymo...See More

Joe lol...go ahead, I can tell you even if you do something as seemingly benign as express an opinion,there might be someone on the opposite end of that opinion who will view you differently. If you are cool with that...then go ahead. On 11/21/09, Yo... Joe.... CHILL MAN!!! wrote: > Have a facebook... > Nothing to hide... > Not friends with ki...See More

Joe I have something even better than that...I was talking with a friend, not a teacher, but a 34 year old marketing exec for a pretty big company...well, he was browsing another friend's page and came across a picture of himself from when he was in college. It was a horribly embarrassing piture, and he had to send a message to that person to immediatl...See More
