Social networks are all the rage.  So, I figured it was about time to get involved myself.  I guess it only makes sense to understand the technology so that you can relate to the students in a way they are familiar with.

 

To take it a step further, I'd like to get some ideas as to what other teachers (and students) feel about leveraging a social network in the classroom.

 

This site seems pretty straightforward and, obviously, geared to education (as opposed to MySpace, Facebook, and the others).

 

I guess it can't be a bad thing.
