Classroom 2.0 Conference - Day 2

Your Online Presence
What about teachers sharing thoughts and feelings, struggles even, on blogs, etc. Is it okay for teachers to be transparent online?
They can get help, support, and suggestions from other teachers.
But what if their principal, students, parents see it?
Should that stop you from being a part of a transparent conversation online?
Maybe there is a balance between being aware and concerned about what you put out there and being too concerned to participate.
We need to teach digital citizenship. How do we do that when we don't even know exactly how to be digital citizens ourselves?
So, what about the people who are too afraid or cautious to participate?
How open should we be?

Thoughts?
