  2. What is Social Networking • These are online communities that have members of their particular site. These members usually have a Web Page or a Blog where that they personalize (photos, text, etc.) the content of their page and prepare to share this information with others. The Web Page can be public (anyone can see your information) or private (this is where you invite someone to join your group of friends).

  3. Examples of Social Networking • MySpace They state that they are “An international site that offers email, a forum, communities, videos and weblog space.” • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace • Facebook According to their Web Page, “This is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who, work, study, and live around them.” • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook

  8. What teachers will find useful. • Social Networks can be included in our lessons by using these cyber-neighborhoods to post class materials, questions and answers and assist with assignments. • A class form of a social network can be used to bring in other students from all over the world to interact and learn together. • Teachers could use the parents of students, other teachers from the school and beyond, and community leaders, etc. to join their network and interact online about a particular question or topic.

  9. Relative Advantage • The sky is really the limit as to what we can do with social networks. These social networks are not just for shallow chat sessions, posting vain pictures, or deciding which party everyone will meet up at on Friday night. If used properly, social networks can be a great learning tool in which students, teachers, and others in the network can benefit from greatly.
