Michael Kaechele raises an interesting question. While he does not have Facebook, he did realize a student was following him on twitter and even sending @ messages.

Now, these are direct Twitter messages sent in a public medium for all followers to see. Is this appropriate? Can he, as a teacher, respond to his student on Twitter.

What about seeing a student on the weekend and having a private conversation in a public place with no one around? Why is this OK? Or is it….

Well said Michael, “Technology creates new questions of appropriateness”.
