I found this article about a prospective teacher who did not get her credentials due to her picture on MySpace. I thought it was interesting as I am always telling my senior students to be very careful with this when they go to college and beyond. During the course of the year when I taught the novel 1984, we discussed freedoms and government regulations on individuals. Some students used this topic in their research papers about contemporary regulations by the government. Hopefully, they will be given more warning about this in college. Will they listen, probably not.

I'd love the link to that article, Arleen. I heard about the case as well and always mention it when discussing the perils of My Space.
Arleen,
I thought the article you mentioned would also be very beneficial for parents to read. I don't think many parents realy understand the consequences of what is posted on line by their kids. We know the kids don't realize it. Both have to be educated.
