So I have a former teacher (it's been 4 years since I graduated) who is still a mentor to me to this day and still in contact with. I saw that he has students who he's "friends" with on facebook (I was surprised to see my sister too as she was a former student as well!), and I am thinking to also be in connection through this medium. However, I am worried that it will disrupt and confuse the method of communication in the future. For example, I email him twice a year about updates and what I've been up to or professional conversations regarding my field. If I were to let's say add him on facebook, and in the future I want to directly contact him or ask to meet with him in his classroom, would it make sense to email him or message through FB? since if we're going to become FB "friends", we're already moving past the standard form/medium of professional communication which is email. I don't know if that makes sense, I hope it does. I may have to add on to this forum if clarification is needed.

I am glad you reached out to 2ndfloor. If he accepts you as an Facebook friend, maybe e-mail him and ask him if you can message him through Facebook. He might be comfortable with that. Since he was your former teacher I would leave it up to him. Please reach out to 2ndfloor through Message Board, text or phone if you would like ot discuss this or anything else. Our number is 888-222-2228.
