RE: KP’s Teacher Tales #3: Be a Role Model Online and Off
Hi Kimberley!
This post is so great!
Most of my in-laws are teachers and they all use their social media accounts to various degrees. Most of their kids aren't on Facebook but so many are on Instagram which I guess people think it safer maybe?
Chewie is an absolute star! I've never seen a book modelled so effectively. Now that this post is up, I think you should prepare yourself for all the big brands to come knockin'.... I assume you're the wookie's agent?
I can't imagine what it must be like for kids growing up with social media now... potentially their peeps getting access to their baby photos and whatnot. I'm old enough that most of my antics that were caught on film were never actually uploaded... kids today don't have that luxury.
This is a great post... thanks for taking the time! Also, that first photo, so so so good!
@aussieninja hiiiiii!
Ya, fb is reserved for old people, or students that are part of groups that contact them through it.
I wouldn’t say Instagram is necessarily safer, unfortunately. They do their best over there but sometimes you’re looking at a harmless hashtag and all of a sudden your eyes are assaulted by porn. If I had my own young kids, I would help them find cool accounts to follow and then tell them to just avoid searching, but whether or not they do—up to the kid I guess.
It is a totally different world!
I suppose I could be a Wookiee agent, it just seems like a lot of pressure! Am I ready for that kind of life?!
Thanks so much for the comments. Nice to meetchya!
