Is anyone aware of Missouri's new law which basically bans teachers from taking part in Social Sites that involve current or former students?
Missouri passed the law last week and it goes into effect August 28. While it doesn't actually "ban" teachers from the sites, it does state that each school MUST establish a policy to which teachers cannot privately communicate with current or former students on a Social Networking site. This does include forums.
My wife (who is a teacher) was part of a Vbulletin site that communicated with students, parents, and teachers. While my wife can still participate, she can no longer talk with any students unless it is publicly listed.
