From The Age newspaper:

This new sosical media have advantages and disadvantages. In the old days, gossip was spread in word. Often it is hard to know where it come from. When teacher came to investagate, they have no proof.
With the teachnology such as Facebook, Twitter, My space and mobile phone, the gossip and rumour get spread very quickly to outside of school setting. I think that's where the problems are. For the person who started posting these items, it is possible to trace back to who said what. Approiate consequences can be dish out to the student who made the offence. I would like to see the media reporting on what happen to the student who started the gossip and rumour as an example for other student not to do it.
