<p>The break down of the terms and acronyms (there are so many.. haha)&nbsp; is really helpful as a new teacher. As my first year as a new teacher I found out just how important it is to set your boundaries up front and how that you are not a peer or close friend to the student. You are there to teach. Not to be a new buddy. I also find that the clothing I wear does make a difference in the level of respect you gain from the students. If you walk in wearing a silly t shirt don't expect to get a very serious class.&nbsp; As the social media goes, I almost just completely stay off of it and only grant access to my personal accounts to close friends and family but never students. And I never give my personal number out. Email is the way my students can communicate with me.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
