Best Practices for Twitter

I think that it is very important to keep the students safe if I allow them to use Twitter in the classroom. I am sure I would have plenty of rules and regulations if I allowed them to Tweet about their experiences in the classroom, or field trips.

Three regulations I would use to keep my classroom safe are never share personal information, review applications that use the students’ twitter account, and have them regularly change their passwords. I think that these rules would be good to use to help the students make good decisions, and to stay safe. If I decided to use Twitter for education I would want to use these regulations because I do not want to have my students put any information on their accounts that allows anyone to know where they are from, or where they could possibly find them. I think that it is very important to have an adult or teacher check up on the children’s account to see what kind of people are able to see their tweets. Changing their passwords regularly will take down the chance of their accounts being hacked into. I am sure I would have many other best practices for my students if I actually allow them to use Twitter, but these were my three favorites!
