I agree that this is a great way to stay connected to the students on "their" level, but with all of the inappropriate teacher/student situations in the news lately, I am very cautious with how I deal with my students. It only takes one time for "John" to get mad about something in class and tell his parents his teacher has been socializing with him outside of school etc.
