Should Teachers Have a Facebook?

In the article "Teaching the Facebook generation" the answer is no. I do not completely agree with this opinion. It is true that teachers should be careful with what they are putting on the Internet. If teachers are putting their personal information on Facebook or on the Internet a student can easily find it by just searching the teachers name. If a student acquires a teachers personal information it could be a problem for the teacher because rumors could start to spread that could potentially hurt the teacher. Teachers still can have a Facebook if they want, they just have to be more careful with what they put on the Internet. Facebook should not be taken away from students because i think that i can be used to the advantage of teachers by posting homework and information. Facebook could potentially be a good tool for school, but personal information should not be posted by anyone, especially teachers.
