It amazes me that people don't think about who will be seeing their posts before sending them out into the technological world. I would have spoken with the person myself after the first incident and then spoken with the Principal after the second. 
The second video was a bit harder as the teacher wants to help the student but would be putting both her and himself at risk if he did. In this situation I would speak to the Principal to see if there was anyway that this student could be transported to school without a teacher being alone in the car with her. Maybe two female teachers driving her in?? I'm not sure even that is a great situation, moral dilemma's are hard!!!]]> 2018-08-07 07:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/272176590 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/272565759 For the first video, as a teacher, using social media which followed by other teachers and students. You need to pay attention to what you said and what you done. If there is a bad impact on students. So if I saw something was not suitable for students watching, I would talk to her and remind her that this is not a good example for students. For the second video, I would discuss it with other teachers or principle to find another solutions. Because if the teacher took this risk, there was something maybe out of the line. As a teacher, you need to provide
equality and equity to every students. And as a male teacher, I think it better for female teachers to drive the girl to schools. Otherwise, the school will provide some transportations to her.

For the first video, in my opinion, teachers should pay attention to setting up a clear line between work and individual life. As the rapid development of social media, I think it is a new challenge for teachers to deal with relationships with their colleagues and students.
For the second video, I think this teacher suffer ethical dilemma, and it is challenging to find the solution. Moral and educational beliefs support teacher to deal with the problems in teaching practices, but sometimes it is hard to find the right method to solve problems as ethical dilemmas.

If they were teachers in a Victorian government school, VPS values and code of conduct also apply. Basically, the behaviour of his colleague is unprofessional and contrary to what is expected of a teacher. If she enjoys drinking on the weekend that's legal and no-one else's business. The issue is more her communication about her personal life to students via social media. A quiet chat with her about her privacy settings and the inappropriateness of connecting with students on social media is sufficient there. Having drugs on the school grounds are another matter entirely. If he forms the view that a colleague is "under the influence" or has drugs on school property he has a duty to do something about that. He needs to report that to school leadership in a formal way. This is a student protection issue as much as a legal one. She has a duty of care to students that she can't properly discharge if she's on drugs. 
In terms of the second video, in my view it's kind of funny that they even felt the need to make the video. I can't picture any teacher I know saying yes to this request. It would be extremely foolish for this teacher to take the student to school in his car. Again, the teacher is bound by fairly strict rules as to conduct (VIT, VPS). There are also more commonsense considerations such as insurance in the case of an accident and whether the teacher would be in a situation where he would be vulnerable to suggestions of inappropriate contact with a student. There are other ways to solve the problem. I would speak with the school wellbeing coordinator and try to facilitate the student car-pooling with another student. This student (and her mother) may also benefit from other supports that the school can offer through the wellbeing officer.

They are adults and teachers, they might know what is right and wrong for themselves. However, the wrong part is to share that kind of life to their students. They are too young to make the right decisions. And the photos like smoking and drinking by there teachers may guide those children to a wrong way. Therefore, I suggest that when the teachers share there party life, just block the students. For the second video, I totally understand how hard it is to support a family as a single mother. But this is not the excuse to make her daughter late for school everyday. And she shouldn't be so confident to say those excuse to the teacher. For this situation, it is good to for the teacher to understand the students several times and try to talk to the parents to solve the problem. That single mom should correct her attitude and try to figure it out.]]> 2018-08-14 06:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/273003198 sliu0056 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/273040284 Given to the first video, the core of this dilemma is that as a teacher what image should be displayed in your social median under the circumstance of many students and colleagues followers. I suggest that teacher should show a positive images in social media, especially you share your updates with your students. Because some vocations are regarded as moral examples in the society for younger generation to follow, such as teachers,  doctors or firefighters.
When it comes to the second situation, the teacher is faced with a child from a single family.  To deal with the girl late for school, the teacher could take class recording and send the video to the girl. It seems the most appropriate way.

Therefore, my reflection of the videos takes these standards into consideration. 
For the first video, I do not think teachers should allow students to follow their personal accounts on social media. I have seen the benefits of teachers and schools who set up class or school pages for students and parents to follow. However, the information provided is solely learning/classroom based and does not include any private/ personal information about teachers. I think the teacher in video one engages inappropriately with students on social media, which breaches the Professional Engagement Standards. 
In the second video, although the teacher has not breached any of the Professional Standards, and actually he is upholding many of the standards contacting the mother and expressing concern for the student. Although the teachers intentions are honourable, agreeing to drive a student to school could have potential disastrous implications that could conflict with the Professional Standards. I would advise this teacher to not agree to drive the student to school and continue to look for other solutions to help the family. ]]> 2018-08-15 01:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/273167841 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/277201836 The first video if the teacher wishes to have students as part of their social media then they should be very careful of what they are posting. Because this could influence the student's thoughts and feeling towards the teacher as well as the student's thoughts and feelings towards high risk social behaviour. The second video is much hard to find a solution to, it would be nice to be able to assist all students in overcome their problem in getting to school but in this case I see its not the responsibility of the teacher. The teacher may be able to make some allowance for the child be late whilst the parent is adjusting to their new job and finding away to get their child to school on time. The teacher by taking the child places himself at high risk eg. if there is an accident what are the legal ramification

Within my workplace, it is unethical to have clients and their families on social media, so the business I work for has its own social media where clients can add us and ask questions. We keep our own social media private. 
The second video however was a little harder, as an educator you want the best for your students however driving the young girl to class definitely wouldn't be considered as ethical. Perhaps her mother could chat to the school with the support of the class teacher and try and organise some kind of school based transport to collect her daughter.]]> 2019-08-19 06:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/375329565 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/375632047 The video that really struck me is the Social media use by the teacher. Social media is a powerful tool that when used correctly can be very beneficial. All my schools that I have worked at have strict rules about being friends with students - even once they are 'adults.' I also think as teachers/professionals we have an obligation to be mindful about what we post, what is posted about us and generally the way we act. Teaching is not a 9 - 5 job. It is a lifestyle and I feel we must practice what we 'preach' to students.]]> 2019-08-20 08:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/375632047 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/376794302 For the first video, as the role of an individual, she has the right to express her opinions on the social media. As the role of teacher whose tweeter could be followed by her students, it is inappropriate to share images or messages which may have bad influence on students or mislead their thoughts on the social media. I believe that it is also part of being a teacher with professionalism . If i were her colleague, I would have a chat with her after work and discuss with her about my concerns.

Honestly, it is a tough scenario in the second video. The student is a young girl. It would be easier for a female teacher to make the decision. However, as a male teacher, he needs to consider this request thoroughly. In my view, this may cause some ethical issues for the male teacher, though his intention was ethical. It is better for the teacher and the parent to figure out an alternative to do what is the best for the student instead of saying YES.

It doesn't sit well with the legal requirements we face in our teaching profession according to VIT guidelines. As her colleague and friend I would have a chat to her about how the photos although meant in good fun may be misconstrued by students, parents and other teachers. But if she has issues with alcohol consumption and drug taking then this would be a matter for the leadership team to deal with.
The second video is not as clear cut as the first. The teacher is concerned about the student's well-being and the effect of continual lateness on her learning.
Instinctively as teachers we want to help fix problems for our students, but legally we cannot and should not drive students to and from school.
This situation needs attention from the school welfare officer and or principal. As a problem has been identified the school should reach out to the parent and help her problem solve a possible and safe solution.This  family may also be in need of other assistance eg. lunch or excursion concessions or bus fare allowance that the school could suggest she apply for.

In the first video the issue is a blurred line of appropriate interactions with students and colleagues. As a teacher you are a public servant therefore what you do in your private life does actually impact your professional status. It is easy to have a blanket rule that you do not have students on any social media platform and if  necessary explain that it is important that your relationship is professional, not personal.  
The second video is not so cut and dry. there are several implications for the teacher, student and parent in having the teacher transport the student to school. I think in this situation a discussion with school leadership would be necessary to agree on what is the best way to proceed- there may be another student family that she could travel with for example.]]> 2019-08-30 01:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/378519911 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/378553353 In the first video I believe strongly that students and teachers should not be connected through social media channels. As a behaviour therapist I am bound by the BACB's ethical code of conduct and am prohibited form having social media contact with clients and am discouraged from having social media contact with other therapists. This to ensure that the relationship remains clear at all times because in some cases, like in the first video, professional boundaries may be blurred or crossed outside of professional working hours. 

The second video is in another grey area ethically; a rules based approach to this issue would suggest that a student taking a ride to school with a teacher is unacceptable. A character based approach would imply that the teacher is a good and kind person and this would make the decision to help the child a reasonable one. 
Personally I believe that our institutions are ultimately rule based and therefore I would act accordingly and not take the child to school each day but speak to my supervisor or the school principle about possible alternatives. ]]> 2019-08-30 05:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/378553353 hmoh0019 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/667083709 Connecting to the social media is nothing new even for teachers. It happened here at my school as well. I personally felt that social media should be private and teachers should not be connected with their students or the parents of their students through this type of media as things posted could get personal. If teachers wish to get connected, perhaps they should maintain two separate accounts. Ironically, at my school, some teachers had also used social media to spy over parents and other teachers, and even shared with colleagues about what they had seen and read through this social media.

With regards to the second video, we have such cases in Singapore whereby students are not able to arrive to school on time, or failed to turn up due to parental work commitment or other matters. We do have an initiative whereby teachers or parents appointed as volunteers to go to the children's house and pick them up to school, and send them back home after school. ]]> 2020-08-01 13:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/667083709 ljac0008 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/699161071 The first video is something I think that happens a lot more commonly nowadays where educators and students connect over social media just as educators connect with one another. I believe that connecting with your students outside of school is important however, younger teachers like portrayed in the video must be more vigilant and cautious about what kind of image they portray outside of school. The behaviour shown in the video is not only worrying but quite wrong in my opinion and its puts her fellow colleagues in a tough situation. 

The second video is a bit more complicated as I don't think the situation can dealt with so easily. There are a lot of factors the educator himself must consider as he is a female and the student is a young female. The ethics and morals behind that video and particular circumstance brings about a lot more caution. ]]> 2020-08-26 03:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/699161071 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/747012938 Firstly, I would advise against having any students or 'clients' on your social media accounts if you are someone that is educating children or engaging in a professional relationship with students. There needs to be a clear boundary between professional and private life, and the ethics code for my area (early intervention) prohibits 'multiple relationships' which is engaging with clients in a personal way. If I were the teacher in the video I would urge my colleague to change their privacy settings so that students could not view their content and I would also let them know that they may want to delete their work colleagues if they are posting personal things they don't necessarily want made public. Personally, to me it makes no difference what people do in their spare time, but I do think there needs to be clear lines between personal and professional relationships, and as such I would not connect with students on social media.
Secondly, the child and family clearly needs support and assistance with getting to school, however I would advise against offering a lift to students. Again, it could be viewed as inappropriate or blurring personal and professional lines. I think if I were the teacher in question I would research support services available in the area and contact them on the child's behalf attempting to arrange some assistance with travel to school.]]> 2020-09-15 07:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/747012938 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/793486231 2020-10-01 03:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/793486231 https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/923832403 These videos both highlighted the importance of clear ethical guidelines to guide our practice. From the behaviour analysis end, it makes snese why we have such a rigourous ethical code in place - not just for the safety of our clients, but for ourselves as well! ]]> 2020-11-15 06:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_grove1/57yx1v0r3yjw/wish/923832403
