- District and school Facebook posts that include students’ photos and names may violate privacy by allowing third parties to access data about the children and teens, according to a report released Wednesday by the American Educational Research Association.
- Researchers looking at publicly available school system posts from 2005 through 2020 estimated that a small percentage of Facebook messages identified students by photo and first and last names. Nonetheless, the sheer volume of those posts — nearly 726,000 out of a total 18 million — meant schools shared a large amount of students’ personally identifiable information.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
