Are social networks useful in education?
Posted by mightylibrarian on January 28, 2008
Much has been discussed about Facebook, MySpace, and other social network sites from a number of perspectives. Last week the Economist magazine created an online forum to discuss social networks in education. I think much of the discuss was directed toward K-12 usage, but not all. Is there a place in education for social network software? Are Facebook and MySpace the best programs? Please review the Economist forum (speakers comments on right side) and the responses listed below.
