damoskiy: In the 60s and 70s when the standard of education in Nigeria was relatively higher and when the sanctity of the four walls of a classroom weren’t as desecrated as we have it today, there was nothing like online social networking and teachers then still brought about students who turned out to be professionals in their various fields of endeavour later on
Do you realize that how stressful it was then compared to now?

damoskiy: what do we learn from facebook if i may ask
I guess that's a way off question.

damoskiy: you could call the student aside to speak with him its better that way
Some teachers lecture schedule might hinder him/her from doing this.The teacher might be busy when the student is free and the teacher might be free when the student is busy.It happens most times.

i disagree with you kind sir, it is not negligible. thinking the financial incapacities of the 'few' poor students not being able to fully partake in educational activities as a result of not being able to afford online interaction as negligible will amount to discrimination, and what do you think this will do to the morale of such student?
Nothing sir as there are other means of learning that such students can apply like using like textbook reading,visiting school or public libraries and do on. Social networking websites is also a means of learning just like other means.

damoskiy: if we encourage ourselves physically we would have better understanding of the person and his state of mind at that time.we cannot know someone state of mind via social network
I never said we can know someone's state of mind via social network, but I think that is the best avenue to address someone's personal problem instead of addressing him/her in the classroom so as to avoid his/her classmates of making mockery of the student involved.

That is not entirely correct. Closer to home, to the average Nigerian it is not a luxury. But you must understand that a lot of people still fall within the one dollar a day category where the only opportunity they have of attending school at all is brought about by the free education policy of most state governments. It is a luxury for those kind of people.
Teachers organizing quizzes and tutorials for students on social networking sites is mainly to aid what they were taught in the class and students missing out of this is negligible.

damoskiy: school is place to mold and shape a person for the future.The ability of you not been able to speak in class shows that you have low self esteem.if a teacher interacts with you on line how is your self esteem going to grow
What most students need are just words of encouragement and this can easily be achieved via social networking websites

dont you think the student will naturally see this as choking? considering the psyche of the average student where holidays are highly anticipated, expecting to be free from school work, assignments and the close monitoring of the teacher?
Choking!Keeping in touch with someone is just about asking and knowing the students welfare

In this regard, how do you cater for those who cant afford the luxury, bearing in mind that some students are not privileged to have parents who can provide them with facilities to harness the 'benefits' of these niceties. Conversely, the classroom is a space where everyone can be equal and have equal access to learning. The internet may not provide equal access and may hinder some students as a result.
Having a web-enabled phone nowadays is no longer a luxury as you can now get good phones with internet facilities for a token nowadays.

Good day to my esteemed judges, illustrious coordinators, fellow co-debaters, and my informed audience, all other protocols duly observed. My username is Ayomitide77; representing Adekunle Ajasin University,Akungba.I am honoured to oppose the notion which says
"Teachers should be ban from interacting with students via Social networking websites".
Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching or training. It requires someone who has passed through various stages of learning and
experience commonly referred to as a teacher to pass knowledge to another set of people known as students. For this to be achieved there
must be some sort of interaction between them. Teacher-Student interaction plays an important role in the way students learn and
assimilate what they are taught by their teachers. Before I proceed further, I would like to define the key terms in the topic to enable us
have a better understanding of the topic.
According to Wikipedia, a teacher is a person that provides education for students. It also refers to a person that
teaches or instructs someone else in something they are more knowledgeable in than the other person while a student on the other
hand is a person who attends an educational institution [college, university, etc] with
the sole aim of gaining knowledge about something. Interaction as name implies is a kind of action that occurs as two or more object or person have an effect upon one another. Social networking websites are websites that enables users
to create a public profile within that website and form relationship with other users of the same website. It can be used to describe community based websites, online discussion forums, chat rooms and other social spaces online.
As we all know that we are in the 21st century where social networking websites is no longer an option but a necessity as it usage cuts
across all varieties of life.
There are obviously bunch of tremendous benefits that teachers and students can derive from interacting with each other via social
networking websites and some of the benefits will be highlighted. Some educators have found social networking websites to be a
revelation since it creation because it acts as an excellent tool which can be harnessed by both teachers and students to make learning easier. Social networking websites such as [url=edmodo.com]Edmodo[/url], [url=teachertube.com]Teachertube[/url], and [url=21classes.com]21classes[/url] provides online learning tools that teachers can make use to enhance students creativity by which it turn makes teaching much more easier. Teachers also see social networking website as an avenue of creating online quizzes
, assignments, lectures and tutorials for students thereby making learning fun-filled.
Teachers creating a group for the class on social networking websites makes it easier for teachers to pass important updates and messages to his/her students. Social networking websites serve as a means by which teachers keep in touch with students especially during holiday break.
Teachers also observe social networking websites to be a good way of getting students who are shy in class to participate more.
Shyness as they say is a symptom of low self esteem and low self esteem affects the rate at which students participate and perform in
the class. But when this category of students interact with their teachers on social networking websites, it will definitely boost their confidence and make them bold enough to participate and express themselves better in the class.
A research on why students fail a particular examination or test has shown that it is mainly not because they are not serious or attentive
enough but because they are either afraid or they don’t like the teacher involved. Some teachers are not as strict as students assume
them to be and this is mainly because they know little or nothing about their teachers but when they interact with their teachers via social networking websites, they will be able to find out a lot about their teachers thereby enabling them to develop a decent rapport
between them. Teacher-student interaction via social networking websites is envitable.
In Missouri, for example, a bill called the 'Amy Hestir Student Protection Act' was signed by their Governor, Governor Jay Nixon. The bill banned teachers from interacting with students via social networking websites and other
electronic device with the aim of protecting students from scandals and violations. But when a comprehensive analysis was made and polls
conducted, it was discovered that teacher-student interaction on social networking website was indispensable and the bill was revamped.
Sometimes, students feel awkward whenever they want to ask question from their teachers during class session either due to the high population of the student in the classroom or because they are afraid of asking a silly question and this is very detrimental to the student academic life. Some students may even attempt to see the teacher after the class but the teacher's lecture schedule might not permit him/her to entertain questions at that particular time but with social networking websites, the teacher can easily ask his/her question perhaps after school hours. The importance of teacher-student interaction via social networking websites cannot be overemphasized.
I do think there are definitely dangers in teachers and students interaction via social networking websites but the positive effects out rightly outweigh the negative effect.
I think with these few but detailed points of mine, I have been able to clear all the minds of doubting Thomas among us that ‘Teachers should be allowed to interact with students via social networking websites’
