I listened to this podcast last summer but I think the ideas and shifts discussed are worth sharing. Danah boyd and Marc Fisher discuss a couple of issues. First, the implications of student publishing and their perceptions of privacy and communication. The second half of the discussion focuses on teachers and how they choose to be connected to their students.
The complexities of these topics imply more problematiztion rather than definite answers. The desire for educators to have clear cut responses and answers to a shifting society is becoming more and more moot. Technology continues to raises at least as many questions as it does answers.
