I’ve discovered that a student from my speech team has created an Annandale Cardinals Speech Team Facebook page. I created a second Facebook character for myself so that I can join the group with this “safe” teacher FB persona. Not that my Jennifer Alishia Barry Kulm FB persona has inappropriate stuff on it, but in light of what one hears in the media regarding negative fall-out from personal FB pages, I don’t want to risk my students finding anything personal about me.
I’ve been on our speech Facebook page, and it’s neat to see how students who graduated years ago have joined our page. It’s a great way for graduates to connect with current students- my speech members can see some “intergenerational” connection to what they do- awesome!
Unfortunately I find myself spending a fair amount of time connecting with people on Facebook now. I thought the novelty would wear off by now, but it’s still there so far. I told my Mom that statistically, she is in the age group that has the most growing numbers of people dabbling in Facebook. Since my parents don’t even own a computer or a cell phone, she assured me that she will not be one of those statistics!! Ha-ha!
