למידה, אינטרנט ... ומה שביניהם

Geocities is a cautionary tale for all of us. Now that we've come to expect permanence from the Internet and move deeper into cloud computing, it's tempting to think that everything is safe and backed up. But, as the Archive Team reminds us, all that data, writing, photos, movies, etc. are at the mercy of corporations. The lesson to our students can't just be "be careful what you post on the Internet because it will be there forever," but must also include, "BACKUP what you've posted on the Internet, because it may not be there forever!"

However, that’s also true for schools where we put a lot of effort into selectively censoring the flow, trying hard to control what information enters the classroom.

But we keep trying.
