Don't you think? This is a serious issue in a world that is not either-or, but is maybe, sometimes, and just a little.

How can we teach students and teachers to be prepared for a technology driven workforce when their primary exposure to these kinds of tools is only on MySpace and Facebook? How do they learn about managing and protecting their online identity and reputation when we prevent them from exploring? Sometimes it makes me think of all the great playground equipment that had to be removed from our schools for fear of lawsuits and liability claims. Sure, kids are in a "safer" bubble, but at what cost? Congrats on the first posting JD!
