My thoughts
beforeI've already encountered eSafety issues with my 13-14 years old students. I hope this course gives me ideas on how to deal with it. Further more, I've already participated in eTwinning eSafety course, but I expect to have better insight in what goes on in those kids' heads when they engage in online activities on their own.

duringThree weeks in and I really like what I see, read and hear. This course is the showing me that I'm on the right track. It's close to the end of the teaching period here and I don't have a lot of time to engage in this course's activities in depth, but I'm doing my best with what time I have.
