District 128 Board Endorses Expectations for Electronic Communication with Students
Wed, 03/24/2010 - 16:12 — mick.torresCommunity High School District 128 recognizes that we live in a society that is highly focused on the use of digital communication tools. While most students and some staff use these tools--such as Facebook, email, and text messaging--because they are dynamic and mobile, and their messages quickly reach their audiences, the District also knows that, as with any emerging technology, there is some caution that should be exercised when using these new media for staff-to-student communication. The District further recognizes the educational benefits of communicating with students beyond the classroom to enrich teaching and learning. In order to protect students, staff and the District, the District developed a document entitled, "Community High School District 128 Expectations for Communicating Electronically with Students." In this document, the District hopes to raise awareness of the acceptable ways for staff to use digital communication tools when communicating with students, and raise awareness of the positive and negative outcomes that may result when using these tools.

In the past few months, District 128
administrators have discussed the pros and cons of developing a
District 128 presence on Facebook and Twitter. Several administrators
have attended numerous seminars and webinars regarding the issues
surrounding social networking sites and schools. After much
discussion, we have determined that Facebook is a communication tool
that today is most popular with students and families.
We believe that having a Facebook fan page will
enable us to reach a broader audience of District 128 constituents.
Unless you are a current D128 student, parent or employee, odds are
pretty good that you don't regularly visit our websites. A Facebook
page will allow us to reach those named above, as well as the many more
people who will connect with us on Facebook. In other words, we will
be reaching people where they are, rather than expecting them to reach
us. Moreover, through the launch of our own fan page, we hope to model
the appropriate use of Facebook as described below in the District’s
"expectations for communicating electronically with students."
The District 128 Facebook fan page launched on
March 25. A link to the page can be found at the bottom of each of the
school and District homepages. You will NOT have to have a Facebook
account to view the page.
The D128 Facebook page will contain news and informational postings about D128, LHS and VHHS, and will be maintained by the District 128 Communications Department. In many cases, it will duplicate the information already posted to the District website and distributed to the local media. Again, it is one more means of reaching our wide variety of publics. It is in no way intended to replace the ALERTNOW system used to communicate emergency information to parents. The Facebook site will continue to be blocked to students on our school networks.
