Artikli eesmärk on anda ülevaade õpetajate arvamustest ja kogemustest, mis puudutavad õpetajate ja õpilaste interaktsiooni ja sisuloomet suhtlusportaalides. Fookusgrupi intervjuudes nelja kooli keskkooliõpetajatega (N = 21) uuriti, milliseid erinevusi on õpetajad täheldanud enda ja õpilaste loodud veebisisus ning millistel juhtudel ja mil viisil on õpetajad pidanud vajalikuks õpilaste suhtlusportaalide postitustele reageerida. Muu hulgas sooviti teada, millistele alustele tugineb õpetaja-õpilase suhtlusportaali sõprus ning kas õpetajad tunnevad vajadust sotsiaalmeedia suhtlust suunavate käitumisjuhiste järele. Intervjuude kvalitatiivsest sisuanalüüsist nähtub, et õpetajate arvates jagavad õpilased suhtlusportaalides liigselt privaatset infot, mistõttu pidasid nad enda kohuseks ebasobivaid postitusi märgates õpilaste sisuloomesse sekkuda. Õpetajad võtsid ka suhtlusportaalides endale õpilaste harija ja mentori rolli ning soovisid oma veebikäitumisega pakkuda eeskuju, samas ei adunud nad täiel määral õpetaja-õpilase veebisuhtluse võimalikke tagajärgi. Õpetaja-õpilase veebisuhtlust reguleerivate käitumisjuhiste järele aga vajadust ei nähtud. Uuringu tulemused viitavad veebisisu loomega kaasnevatele põlvkondlikele erinevustele ning avavad õpetajate-õpilaste probleeme suhtlusportaali auditooriumi tajumisel.
