"A brighter future through better public schools"

NSBA to host live online discussion on school boards and students' social networking on the Internet

Postings, Protection, and Policies: What School Leaders Need to Know About Online Teen Hangouts

Online Discussion, Hosted by National School Boards Association
Wednesday, November 8, 11:00 a.m. to 12 noon EST

Should school district leaders be concerned when teens create their own Web pages on social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook?  Are there real dangers in posting inappropriate comments?  How should school board policies adequately address these new issues? 

With the dramatic growth of students who use these social sites to express themselves and interact with their friends online, educators need to learn more about the complexities of this medium. With high-profile cases making headlines, it’s critical that educators are prepared to deal with the dangers and understand the benefits of social networking. 

Join legal expert Kimberly Jessie, an associate at Bracewell Giuliani law firm, who will lead a lively online discussion about these issues on Wednesday, November 8, from 11 a.m. to 12 noon EST.
