Teachers and Information Privacy/Intellectual property

I want to write about the ethical dilemma being a teacher and sharing information on internet. We always have to reflect on what we share on the internet, but as teachers we have a special liability! We are models for children and youths. Everything we do, think and write will affect their actions in their life. When we disclose meanings and actions that is generally not accepted, i think that we meet problems i our work as teachers. The children will maybe think that this is legal and since our teacher do - then we can act as him/her. Facebook is a social media which contain lots of private information. Even if you are not "friend"s with your pupils - they can search for person and find information about everyone. If the teacher has amused at a party last saturday and his/her friend has broadcasted a film where their teacher is very drunk and acts not as good - i think that this is very ethical irresponsible. Even if the film is "hidden" in an unknown person facebook page - the rumor spread quickly among youths. It becomes very sensational when a teacher acts like this. Maybe they also think that it is accepted to do this when their rolemodel do it.
In Norway we have freedom of expression but we always have to think how and what we say on social media. it is not positive when you mean for instance that refugess are not welcome to our country. In almost every schools in Norway there are people that have another nationality. The pupils will maybe start harassments to this pupils - and this make their dailylife even more difficult.
As a teacher you always have to reflect n everything you share on internet, because internet leaves lots of tracks and even if you delete posts - it is not gone forever. You may also be sent to jail if you say illegal utterances and do illegal actions.

This is a video about a teacher was fired because of things se said on facebook:

In my job as teacher i have decided to be "friends" with my pupils. This is a consciously choice - i use it in education - to spread information that is important for school and as a learning area in language for instance. I always consider what I say and do - and my friends know that they should not broadcast images and videos of me. I have never experienced that this was not a problem. You just have to think about what your pupils will think on your thouhts and behavior.
Intenet can also be a fantastic way to learn if you do it in the right way! This is a link for guidance using facebook in education: Educator guide for facebook
