Target Audience:
The target audience for this I-video are professionals in the education field which include Principals,
school executives, teachers, tertiary students studying educational subjects, journalists or any body
who may have an interest of the impact of technology on professionals.
Why is social network netiquette an issue for educators?:
Online communication is the new social trend. Social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter
and YouTube are used by global citizens to communicate every day, every hour, every minute with
other online users – these of which consist of educators.
Communication will undoubtedly occur through social networking between educators and students,
however teachers are not aware that “this could blur teachers' professional boundaries and lead to
allegations of inappropriate contact with students or improper conduct outside school hours. “Staff
need to be aware that web socialising with students could easily be classified as 'conduct open to
misinterpretation' given that it mirrors the grooming behaviour of paedophiles," (Hiatt B, 2010, para:
4)
Online communication requires educators to have adherence to a set of protocols and rules of conduct
which are generally unwritten. The purpose of this awareness is for educators to be appropriate and
courteous via online communication, especially towards student’s and other educational stakeholders
such as the community and parents.

This i-video will also briefly explore alternate methods to communicate with students outside the
schooling environment such as through forums, online blogs or the schools intranet and incorporate an
email system for the students. Nevertheless, if teachers do choose to use popular social networks such
as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and YouTube to communicate with students outside of the schooling
environment, being aware of the consequences of certain unprofessional behaviours will be seen or
heard about and may result in demotion, suspension, dismissal and in some circumstances teachers
may be charged for alleged sexual conduct between teachers and students.
The structure of the I-video:
The techniques used in the development of the I-video are purposeful and meaningful.
The choice of music is has a powerful upbeat which immediately brings viewers to feel captured. The
music is supported by phrases and quotes which are direct and used as first person to bring a more
personal experience while observed.
The choice of font is thick and bold and the main colours used are black, white and red. These colours
imply simplicity, drama and seriousness to the issues being addressed throughout the video.
There is minimal imagery and illustrations and photographs are used only in certain areas of the I-
video were appropriate. The purpose of this is due to the fact that there is more information to be
distributed within a minimal time frame.
The information provided throughout the I-video seeks to inform educators to have civic
responsibility of recognising the ethical code of conduct and behaviours in social conventions.
Examples of social conventions which facilitate interaction over networks would include online
blogging, forums and mailing lists. Educators may use these types of networks to communicate with
students within the schools intranet or ask students to use secure online domain for educational
purposes (Lam M, 2010).
This I-video also aims to make the audience realise the seriousness of matter by referring to relevant
case studies and emphasising the long-term impacts which may arise due to inappropriate behaviours
through social networks such as suspension, demotion, criminally charged and loss of employment.
