The Virginia board of education wants to set strict guidelines to discourage inappropriate use of electronic communication between educators and students. As a result, teachers must report to their supervisors of any communication that goes on between them and their students; this includes coaches too. The article also mentions that the use of online game play with students is restricted to just for academic use only and other types of gaming is strictly prohibited.
In my opinion, I think to completely avoid the issue of misinterpreting messages over digital communication and the internet; it's important to use the technology in a sensible and honest manner, and use only in emergency situations. There seem to be more attention on these types of issues in the news lately and to avoid litigations and problems with the law, it's best to play it safe when using cell phones and social networking programs altogether since there's no such thing as privacy anymore.
