education in public
Check out this website I found at silverinsf.blogspot.com
This is the blog of @davidmsilver referred to in AjCann's post: http://ajcann.posterous.com/twitter-as-courseware.>
The students responses to concerns about their privacy being violated by being asked to post publicly are very interesting. The students and @davidmsilver do not have many followers yet. Although they are communicating in a public forum their conversations are actually quite private at the moment. But what would happen if we all started following them, and joining in their discussions. It could change the dynamic of a small teaching group quite dramatically.
Is that important?
