As students head back to school in the coming weeks, here are a few of our own tips, and some suggestions from Facebook, to help keep accounts safe online.

Tips for Teachers

Know the rules

Make sure you know your school’s policy for Facebook use before opening an account. Make sure your students are over the age of 13, and that you notify parents and get their permission before reaching out to students.

Create friend lists

Teachers can create a friend list called “students” and adjust the privacy settings to control exactly what students will see.
