Social Media Tip

From Valonia Walker, Aldine ISD Communications Specialist:

Using fun emojis to cover student faces is a social media no-no. Covering student faces with emojis or stickers gives the impression that the students do not have permission to have their personal information shared. Please only tweet photos of students who you know have permission to have their photos shared. If you do have permission, there is no problem showing their faces. When sharing photos of students or their work in the classroom, be mindful of personally identifiable information, like name tags, addresses, or phone numbers.

LIVING IN A DIGITAL WORLD

With research and other information so readily available, students and teachers need to be extremely cautious about plagiarism or otherwise appropriating someone’s work in an illegal or improper way. Not only is it considered cheating to hand in a paper or homework assignment using words or thoughts taken from another source (accidentally or on purpose), but it may in some cases be considered a criminal offense punishable by law.
