Twitter policy

If we’re using encouraging students to use Twitter as part of learning activities that we’ve created, should we be explicit about the online Twitter behavours we expect from them?

I don’t have an answer to that yet but I do have a very good example of a policy:

Our Twitter policy: Be professional, kind, discreet, authentic. Represent us well. Remember that you can’t control it once you hit ‘update.’
