Learning with Facebook: Making it Safe and Simple
Rule 1
You’ll need a sensible Safe Use Policy. Here’s ours – but it’s available for everyone and can be amended for each institution accordingly. We ask everyone to read through this...
Rule 2...and this, a briefing paper about how Facebook can be a useful tool in teaching and learning
Rule 3
Familiarise yourself with the Facebook in Education page on...Facebook
Rule 4 Complete the college’s (brief) Facebook training session on Moodle. This training is available to other institutions by request.
Rule 5
Do not use your normal Facebook Profile. Set up a professional Facebook profile linked to your institutional email address
Rule 6If you have a Safeguarding or Child Protection Officer, ask them to set up a professional profile on Facebook and ensure they are enrolled as page / group administrators for all institutional Facebook spaces.
Rule 7Ensure your institution’s logo and name is displayed as the default page / group image
Rule 8
Ensure that you have similar message to this displayed in all institutional Facebook spaces
Rule 9
Make sure you get students’ permission to use films and images on your Facebook space.
Here’s our form – which can be used by pre and post 16 year old students
Rule 10Finally...when you have done everything, complete the following checklist and email it to me!
Advice and Guidance:Friending: if a student sends a friend request, then feel free to accept it! You’re using a teacher’s profile, so this is fine in a professional sense. However: do NOT send out friends requests to your students, even using your professional account.
Pages and Groups: Anyone can comment on any image or status update on any page. There is no longer a need to ‘Like’ pages before you can add your own content. Groups have more levels of privacy.
