Trend Hunter finds its basis in pop cultural progress, making it an ideal place to address the question of whether or not student/teacher interaction online is a step towards the future or a move in the wrong direction. Our Chief Trend Hunter Jeremy Gutsche, accompanied by a panel of pop culture specialists, dove into this issue on the latest segment of CBS' What's Trending.
Essentially, the question at hand is not whether or not private online interaction is harmful in a student/teacher relationship, but whether or not it is necessary. Being the creator of a site based on innovation, Gutsche does not see fault in Facebook interaction between students and teachers, but in the private conversations that could occur.
