I really like your reflection on the need to learn how to use these tools with your students, but also the need to remain safe online. I too am excited by the ways in which the internet can be a wealth of information used for learning and development, but putting information out there also means that our individual privacy is often compromised. This is a concern for me and for my students. Although my students are legally "of age" and "adults" they are still naive about the realities of their safety in a virtual world. As an educator, I want to be able to engage with them in the Web 2.0 world while still being mindful of necessary precautions.
That is so exciting that you are byod! That is great and your ideas are sounding perfect. Just start small and then little by little you can gradually incorporate the tools and more ideas into your lessons. Nice!
