“I am willing to co-operate BUT I am unable to comment until I have contacted Federation and Legal Counsel.”
Do not say or write anything, even if the Principal states that it is part of Board Policy.

TECHNOLOGY ADVISORIES AND GUIDELINES
ALL SCEOT members must be aware of the policies and advisories that have been published in regards to educators, teaching and the use of social media in the Board and our province. Due to the vast number of documents, I have compiled them for you for easy viewing. In addition to these documents, I have recently reviewed APM 1350: Information and Computing Technology and Internet Appropriate Use Guidelines for Employees, which can be found on the Board Staff Website and I strongly recommend that you review it as well.
Please see the following:
Defamatory Websites and Social Networking Pages
Electronic Communication and Social Media
Practicing Caution – Guidelines for Electronic Communications
Professional Advisory Social Media OCT
The Hidden Dangers Of Electronic Communications
Videotaping in the Classroom – Advice to Members
Please read through all of these documents and be aware of professional advisories and Board policies. If you have difficulties reading any of the PRS bulletins, click here to find them on etfo.ca
