Social Networking in the Education Domain
I love the idea of Social Networking within the educational setting. I read all three articles this week end and I think it would be so awesome to have a networking system within my school district. I do not know that much about how it would work, but I think the idea sounds so awesome. As an educator, there are times when our work is so isolated and contained within our classroom. We don't have time to go out and share what we are doing with our colleagues. It seems like if we could network with other teachers within our district via a blogg or some other platform we would communicate and support on another so much more. Excellent articles!!

I agree with you! It can be a great experience for both teacher and students. I wanted once to connect two classrooms from the U.S. and Israel. It didn't work that particular time, but I can not wait to have the opportunity to try again! I hope it will work for you.
Glad you are open to thinking about these technologies for your own classroom.I think you will enjoying learning about more possibilities in this area on Wednesday with our guest speaker. Denise L. will be sharing her experiences using NING --- should be exciting!
Yes, I totally agree with you on the point that we need a collective efforts of teachers and all stakeholders in education in order to successively adapt the concept of social networking in our educational system.
I never thought of using social networking in schools as a way for teachers to communicate with each other. I like that! I think it would be neat for a classroom to have an equivalent to a facebook page. It would probably be similar to a classroom website, but I know how to work with Facebook way better than websites. I hope we keep finding ways to use this at an elementary level Deb!
Oh I love the idea of a classroom haveing like a face page. You could have a class name and share pictures and information. You could even have friendly competitions between classes like a spelling bee or fact challenges. Fun !!!
