I use online tools in my teaching like FLickr, YouTube, and WordPress...but always with reservation, with filters (literally – YouTube is blocked from our firewall!), and under another identity. The old cliche of teachers having "dual lives" rings true when you look at the split personalities one must have online in my profession. Although no I am not hiding pix of me pole dancing, I do have 2 flickr accounts - 1 for my private network, and 1 for work-related photos - I once was keeping up 2 separate blogs and after struggling with privacy issues, abandoned one for a more professional purpose - and the list of dual accounts goes on...At times it is frustrating because I want to connect with people online in an authentic way, and sharing your personal identity is a huge part of that. At times I feel like I am missing out on some of the fun too...but I realize that teachers must abide by a stricter code of "netiquette" than their celebrity-blogger-friends! As I approach PodCamp and Blogtoberfest this week, I am wondering if I lose the "cool" factor of all of these tools when they are used for an educational purpose? I’ve been trying to get a podcast going at my high school for over a year now...this is part of the frustration too... Great post!!
