教师使用Facebook等社交网站给政策制定者带来了一些道德困境。在这篇文章中，我们认为，学校有理由对教师采取行动时，从社交网站上出现的证据，教师（a）做的事情是非法的，（B）做的事情，反映了他们严格的专业判断和态度，或（c）追求或接触学生的方式，使学生不舒服。然而，如果教师只是从事极具争议性的活动，禁止教师使用社交网络的政策就没有道理了。只要教师采取合理的预防措施，确保他们的在线活动不容易与学生、学校或他们的职业身份联系起来，他们就应该被允许有一个隐私的领域来表达他们作为人的个性。如果教师不从事有害的活动，开放的教师参与社会网络可能会提供富有成效的教育可能性。当我们展开这一论点时，我们注意到这一伦理框架所呈现的各种复杂性。
Teacher use of social networking sites such as Facebook has presented some ethical dilemmas for policy makers. In this article, we argue that schools are justified in taking action against teachers when evidence emerges from social networking sites that teachers are (a) doing something that is illegal, (b) doing something that reflects badly on their strictly professional judgments and attitudes, or (c) pursuing or contacting students in a way that makes the students uncomfortable. Policies that ban teacher use of social networking are not justified, however, if teachers are simply engaged in highly controversial activities. As long as teachers take reasonable precautions to ensure that their online activities are not easily connected to students, schools, or their professional identities, they should be permitted a realm of privacy to express their individuality as human beings. If teachers are not engaged in harmful activities, open teacher involvement with social networking may provide productive educational possibilities. As we develop this argument, we attend to the various complexities that this ethical framework presents.
