I've seen the best responses when I ask students to show me their page and they are embarrassed to do so. With student teachers I've seen them be totally surprised when their students start linking to them or making friends requests, but by then it is almost too late.

Thanks for starting this conversation. Something else students may find helpful is the Thoughts about Facebook from Cornell http://www.cit.cornell.edu/policy/memos/facebook.html I find it a great conversation starter when working with students on Digital Citizenship in our school. I will now add your questions to the conversation. Some great thoughts Wes. Thanks for starting this conversation.

There have been several instances in our state, as well as others, of new teachers (or even student teachers) having inappropriate content on their MySpace page. Many feel that this is personal, and should not have repercussions on their teaching career. I have given this talk to several seniors, and they truly have not thought of anyone but their friends going to their pages. It should be interesting to see this latest group of MySpacers enter the teaching world and what Social Networking tools they bring with them.
