Now in Missouri, teachers have been banned by law from becoming social media friends with students in Facebook and any other platform that exists.. Teachers are now, by state edict, not permitted to be friends with students online–I suppose even if the students asks. Even more interesting in the new law: “Teachers also cannot have a non work-related website that allows exclusive access with a current or former student” Some are applauding the ban, others worry about the long term repercussions. It will be more interesting see what states follow with their own regulations..
