damoskiy: We have students who are stubborn,
some are struggling in class while some
are shy to speak up in class and these
sets of students refuse to ask of help. It
becomes so hard for teachers to reach
these students, if teachers are not ban
from interacting with their students via
social networking, those set of students
would be able to reach out to their
teachers and request help on topics they
might not understand. Some students
can be embarrased about asking
questions in front of their peers. how would they grow if they are shy to speak with their teachers

“Success is most often achieved by those who don’t know failure is inevitable”. Most students are always scared to approach their teachers physically to ask them question not because the teacher is harsh but because we lack self confidence. Students feel because I have my teacher on the same social networking I can ask him anything at will and any way I want it.

Parents it is this sort of question that keeps you awake at night! The idea that you cannot control who has access to your children on the Internet is one of the most terrifying and helpless sensations. Having a teacher as part of it is something unacceptable, school is a place for teachers to interact with students while home or outside home is a place for family and friend's .

My parents aren’t kept awake at night o! Is the internet the only place the parents don’t have control over who accesses/interacts with the children? If there is abuse by teachers NOT on the internet but on the grounds of the school, does that make it okay? Going by your argument, is it okay for the child to mess up with other children online, so long as a teacher isn’t involved?

yuzedo:
I was hoping you’d cite the source of this information and provide an immediate link to back up this assertion. Honestly, you didn’t put forth any argument in your opening statement; you only supplied known information.

yuzedo:
So is there an established correlation between interaction/mentoring via social media and better results of students? If affirmative, please show proof.


Source/Reference?

I clicked on the link supplied for your “references” and nothing happened. I wasn’t directed to the source or basis of your argument. What gives?

yuzedo:
How did teachers of yore tackle this issue WITHOUT social network?

Contradiction of the day. Which argument does this support or oppose?

snoopy: TEACHERS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM INTERACTING WITH STUDENTS VIA SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES (SUPPORTING)

yuzedo:
Loved your presentation. Only one to supply the correct heading too. Thank you.

aysuccess99: @snoopy, u said `or otherwise within itself could further lower the already education standard particularly in Nigeria...'....i.e u mean dat teachers and students interaction is degrading our educational system....
i want u to expantiate this better? and cite some example bro?

aysuccess99: @ snoopy, u also said and i quote:`how can a teacher convincingly speak against smoking or substance abuse if students have access to pictures portraying the teacher themselves drinking or smoking'
do u think such a person is worthy to be a teacher when he's involving in such a bad act? i don't think this is a good example but i would like you to expantiate or convince me abt what i just quoted.

snoopy: No sir what i meant was that the idea of a student-teacher interaction on social networks is susceptible to being abused by questionable characters both on the teacher side and the student side and the end result is what can further reduce the value of our education system

damoskiy: we have teachers like that.some teachers are not doing it for the passion but the money.for those that attended boarding school like i did we had situation of teachers bringing prostitutes to their quarters and posting funny pictures online about all they did...

aysuccess99:
but sir, i quite agree with you....bt what do u think the teacher can do if he want to pass a very important information to the students, if they are not on social media? cos i've seen a situation whereby lecturers have to go to facebook and inform his students about the latest development in the faculty, and that information was very essential and important, and assuming one of his students his nt his friend on facebook, hw do u tink he wld be able 2 pass d info to other students?

aysuccess99:
owk, i do knw that such things do happen....bt my qstn is dat do such a teacher worth being called a teacher and did he worth being call a role-model?

aysuccess99: @UNILAG, u guys said are supporting d motion dat teachers shld be ban from interacting with the students through social media...but don't u tink it's so unfair and untrue...because, i and my teachers do chat on social media and he do give me tips on hw to study, hw to be morally upright etc....bt if such teachers her ban from interacting with students, wld i have the opportunity to be able to receive such a vital advice and don't u tink it may affect such a student negatively when such a student need that kind of crucial advice.
what do u guys have to say about this?

damoskiy: bulk sms

Source/Reference?

damoskiy: you could still receive vital informations from your teacher.you should have your teachers mobile no if you are a good student

aysuccess99:
u said bulk sms....hmmn...do u think the lecturers or teachers have the telephone number of all his students? what he could only do is to chat with the class rep through social media and inform him to tell the other students...what do you think about this?

snoopy:

The teacher doesn't necessarily have to be the one contacting the students one by one on social networking websites to pass the info. Thats what class reps are there for. The teacher could just pass the info to the class rep and the class rep can in turn inform his colleagues and could even do it via the social media platform.

aysuccess99:
but how can he communicate with the class rep like for example, during this ASUU strike...what do u tink the teacher can do if u doesn't have the students number and he jst have only his facebook id, what do you think abt this? I REST MY CASE....

snoopy:
for the teacher NOT to have the phone number of his class rep whose also a proxy figure BUT be friends with each and every one of his student on social networks would rather be absurd.
