Photo uploads

I put a ton of photos up on flickr and facebook. I've limited their view for the moment to friends/family, so if you go there most of you won't see them. I'll try and sort through them soon to enable more to be publicly viewable. The limitation is because many of the photos are of students and I want to respect their online privacy.

I'm curious what you think about that. Should they not go on the internet at all? Am I over thinking this? Names aren't used anyway, so it isn't a threat that way.

Anyway, serious questions aside, we just finished camp a couple days ago and it was a blast! Me and two other teachers managed the outdoor water activities for the two days and they were quite successful. The location was really beautiful and near the ocean. There was a sound or something like that close by and the rain which passed through was warm and refreshing.

I'm on summer break now for the next couple weeks, so I'll try to get myself in order and post some great pictures, stories, and reflections during this time. (c: Thanks for your patience, dear readers!

I think when you're in a technologically savvy city like Seoul - there is an unsaid expectation/knowledge that if you have a digital camera and you're taking pictures, you'll probably post them online. the popular site of choice amongst "young" koreans is cyworld. if your kids don't want their pictures taken (and thus posted), they'll probably do what most of my middle school students used to do when i pulled out a camera - block their faces and shriek something about not wanting their pictures taken. ^^ most adults will tell you point blank that they don't want their pictures taken/shared/posted/existing (and to delete them). so if you have pictures that were taken w/ the subjects' knowledge, i'd generally say go ahead, post them ...

these rules apply only to seoul. i don't assume to apply the same said rules to other cities in korea or across the world!

whewf. that was long-winded.
