What about privacy?
Too late!
If you have a Facebook page that is open you have already been “stalked”
And a quick thought

% of students who searched Facebook
% of students who checked Linkedin
37%

57%

Do you have privacy concerns on social network sites:
Yes 28%No 29%Don’t really think about it 42%
You do not “friend” your students
You add them to a group
You maintain your privacy
And they maintain theirs.
