Tammy, I know what you mean about myspace. I used to use myspace. It was the only way that I kept in contact with some family and friends. Unfortunately, I have heard that many school districts will not interview candidates if they have myspaces. In a local school district, one teacher was almost let go upon the district finding out that she had a myspace. She agreed to delete her myspace in order to keep her job. I understand the districts concerns with all of the problems that are out there with people using it inappropriately. It is unfortunately though for those who use it to keep in touch with friends and loved ones.
I agree, if we want our students to appropriately communicate with one another, we need to model proper communication.
