On today’s podcast, I make a pun that isn’t really a pun while discussing the issue of teachers reading students’ personal online journals. I’m curious to know what others think about the issue, so nicely framed by this post from Barbara Ganley. Some say that teachers should stay away from students’ online spaces — I disagree. Please let me know what you think, both on the issue and on the podcast.
