I've always been very careful to make sure that there's adequate separation between my online persona related to my school work and my own personal preferences.  I think this is a hugely important area related to 'Digital Integrity'.   I don't believe that its appropriate for teachers to allow their personal opinions and beliefs to go into their class pages, that's just my personal thought but I strongly believe it.  I see all sorts of online work that I would cause me to question the 'digital integrity' of the teacher.  This site as its not specific to my class site, I see the separation as being fine.  Thus me putting this video on here which I'd never do as part of my classwork or official school work is perfectly reasonable.
However I don't really think its appropriate for a teacher to put their holidays photographs up.   I've only been online for a relatively short time, three years or so.  I haven't seen it all but I've seen some examples that I couldn't believe.  Teachers filming themselves doing the 'catch/trust' exercise into students arms (tell me where the learning intention is with that!), teachers complaining about their own school through their own class page, in a cluster that I was once part of I saw a teacher post 50-60 photographs of herself on holiday on her class page.   I am not criticising these examples, although I think they range from preposterous to silly in my opinion, but there's no guideline for how people should operate online other than individual sense of right.
