Social Networking in the Hot Seat…Again! and Again!

Posted by Cheryl Lykowski on March 30, 2007




As a continuation of my previous post,  Social Networking in the Hot Seat…Again!  I came across this timely post from the Infinite Thinking Machine and Chris Walsh. The post, And The Walls Come Tumbling Down discuss “online communitites”  and how they can and are being used in educational institutions.

Club Penguin, Whyville, and Imbee are just a few “online communities” geared for the under 14 crowd.

MySpace, Facebook, and Second Life are few sites geared for the older teens and adults.

My daughter and her friends tend to use MatMice as their connection.

Check out the article and see what you think. Can these sites be used in educational settings for good? Will be able to wipe away the negative thoughts that are conjored up when someone says MySpace or “social networking” ?
