Get Out of My Face(book)! When Students, Teachers and Schools Cross the Legal Lines

 * Presenter:** Aimee Bissonette

Social networking "imposter" sites, students posting hurtful or derogatory remarks, privacy expectations of teachers, student-teacher electronic interaction, harsh or inappropriate school disciplinary actions. . . These issues and more form the basis of a multitude of lawsuits involving social networking and schools this year. In this session, we'll discuss the legal issues raised by social networking and the extent to which schools should get involved in social networking disputes. We will also discuss how schools may take advantage of the learning opportunities offered by social networking and other new technologies, all while staying within legal and ethical parameters (and out of the courtroom!).
