Furthermore, this is perhaps the best solution to keep the ethics of Facebook friendship at bay because there are clear positives and clear negatives regarding the whole issue, hence digital citizenship literacy and intercommunications between students and teachers they are not a black or white issue.

At university we use a learning management system called Schoology where posts, updates and messages are used to keep students, staff and teachers up to date on the latest school events. It is also used to keep in touch with teachers for homework deadlines and questions and queries
