 * Social Networking Scenario 1: Mr. Blake and Jennifer **

High school social studies teacher Mr. Blake has been adding students as friends to his Facebook page, using the forum to answer questions and guiding classroom related discussions. Lately some students have begun asking personal questions about relationships and life choices. Jennifer's mother, who monitors Jennifer's Facebook page, feels uncomfortable about this and brings it to the attention of the principal.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Social Networking Scenario 2: Ms Olson's Camping Trip **

Sixth grade teacher Ms Olson posted pictures of the camping trip she and her husband took to the Boundry Waters last summer on her Facebook page. In one of the photos, she is smoking what looks suspiciously like a marijuana cigarette. One of her students finds the photos and shows her friends.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Social Networking Scenario 3: Juan and Philip trade insults **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The HHH Middle School is using Google Docs as a writing tool and as a means to do peer reviewing. Juan and Philip have used the platform to exchange messages that involve name calling and racial slurs. Philip's parents object when his account is suspended for two weeks, believing it will hurt is academic progress.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Social Networking Scenario 4: The social networking ban **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After hearing a presentation at a conference, high school principal Miller has banned all "Web 2.0" tools including Facebook, Skype, YouTube, wikis, blogs and Flickr. A number of teachers and many students are upset with this decision but Mr. Miller cites CIPA as a legal reason for blocking the sites.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Social Networking Scenario 5: The blog about blobs **

PE teacher Teng has created a widely read blog about teaching elementary physical education and health. In one post, he describes (but does not name) several students and teachers he sees as having poor eating habits that contribute to then having an unhealthy BMI score. One teacher thinks he is writing about her and brings the post to the attention of the principal.
