      This is where I came to when web 2.0 was repeated and I had no idea what it was. Wikipedia itself is a great example of web 2.0

The Gypsy Librarian: Article Note: On Facebook, Teachers, and Self-disclosure - 0 views

  • This was on my mind as I took the leap and created my Facebook profile. The blogs I keep allow me to have a minimal profile; I had the option to fill in a few more details on the personal profile I keep on Facebook. These are decisions that every educator using these technologies has to make.

      As a school administrator, would I have to police what teachers reveal about themselves? Do I police political views, religious views, group or fan affiliations?
  • "Participants also referenced the appropriateness of the content teachers provide. Typical responses included: 'Don't put anything about politics,' 'I wouldn't give out too much personal information or stuff you think your students might make fun of you about,' and 'Be cautious what people put on your wall. Know that your students can see it and be careful what perceptions you are giving'" (12).

    This is a pretty good article talking about the blurring line between social and professional and how this person wants to keep those two things separate. As a teacher, I don't want to know what the students are doing this weekend. As a teacher, I don't want my students to know what I am doing this weekend. Is it healthy to have this blended environment? At the university level this question might not be so stressful, but at the K-12 level, it is a little tricker.

      Doh! Instant messaging answers for computerized tests! Gotta think about that one. Ugh.
  • the school district chose to start an educational campaign. High school drama students created public service announcements that aired during morning announcements emphasizing the dangers of sharing private information online and the permanency of this information for college admissions counselors and future employers. Classes were offered for staff, parents, and the community, educating them on how kids are using technology and how they can talk to them. They saw immediate results; student postings online were suddenly more appropriate, teachers proactively worked to prevent misuse of technology, and parents and adults from the community attended classes and began discussing technology use with their children.
