reluctantly posting resources

At one time, I had an entire "resource blog" and then I deleted it.  Recently, someone asked if I would post my resources and maybe start posting some lesson plans.  I'm all about collaboration, but there is a part of me that chooses this reluctantly.

Here are my hesitations:

• My mentor Brad the Philosopher once mentioned that he burned all the lessons he wrote.  When pressed on this, he said, "Okay, I'm using hyperbole.  I recycle them.  I just don't want to be reliant on the same strategies and perspectives each time I teach." 
  
• I want to have a stronger division between my personal views and my classroom.  A wise man gave me some suggestions today about keeping my professional career safe from misinterpretation.  For those reasons, I am a little reluctant about posting lessons.  Still, I don't see the lessons as being critical of the school district or open to misinterpretation, so they might be okay.
• My resources are "not-so-master" in nature.  Therefore, I'm reluctant to let people see them, since I'm not always sure they will be helpful but also because I don't want to be "found out."  On some level, I want to look like a big shot and sharing my resources proves that I'm good but not great. 
• What works well in one context might not work in another context. 
  
• I am a big fan of teachers developing things on their own.  A glut of tools actually inhibits the creative impulse, while poverty, pain, confusion and necessity drive creativity. I know that might sound too Zen, but it's a thought.

So, despite these misgivings, I'm posting stuff anyway.  I believe in the public commons.  I believe in the need to share resources as teachers.  I'm a fan of democracy.  So, take them or use them.  They'll be on the side of my blog all linked up.  (I'm already starting the process)
