Journalism student barred from liveblogging and twittering in Web 2.0 Journalism class

 
Kinda funny to ban this stuff in the class where it is supposed to be discussed and studied.
 
For our own class I'd probably be against liveblogging and twittering IN CLASS as we ask students to work strictly on the applications we are discussing at that point in time.  Outside of class I'd consider anything I (as the instructor) said or did in the class fair game but I agree that quoting other students or even talking about the other students in a given class is probably a violation of their privacy.  I'm not a lawyer tho, so I wonder what MU's policy would be on this, I imagine this incident will spark a deeper discussion on the subject by faculty.
