OMG!!! That is so true, we are NOT safe no more :( I get very scared of all the information it appears when I google my name. Pictures, work, webpages I wasn't really aware of appear in a matter of seconds. We need to teach our students Digital Citizenship and Digital Safeness..to make sure they never post a real name. I have a class website and sometimes get paranoia for just posting their pictures (I have permission from parents) but never put their names on them. Still they have to learn about the danger of publishing personal information on the internet.

Have you heard of Minecraft? I have heard students talk very enthusiastic about it, specially elementary and middle school students. Even some of my students have suggested to use minecraft as an educational tool. Minecraft is a sandbox game which allows players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. Watch this video and tell me if you think this could also be the teacher's ultimate multi-tool? If so, how can you implement it in a lesson?
