C4T#3

teaching words

Guhlin
Around the corner is an interesting blog supporting the Texas TEE. Guhlin makes a very compelling argument about "Glamornormous" which Guhlin defines as an enormous project, full of glamour; an exorbitantly expensive project--usually involving some magical technology--that is charmingly or fascinatingly attractive to school administrators looking to score points with the community, allowing the casual disregard of "purchasing rules" and "common sense."" 
In another post, Vicki "coolcatteacher" Davis posted on Why Schools shouldn't use GoogleDocs for anything Private. Vicki is actually a woman that I was previously following; she makes very good points in her blog and on twitter. Sharing personal information online can be dangerous-period. Both Vicki and my assigned blog, Guhlin, received a message from Teresa with the google community, assuring everyone that google docs is safe to use due to the fact that they scan primarily for information that can be used in identity theft, such as user IDs, social security numbers, ect.
