I recently set up a Social Network for use within the department. I hope it will be used to improve communication lines between student, college and home. We all have a role as educators. Every time I teach a class I learn something from my students and encourage the students to share new found skills with each other.

Education extends beyond the classroom. Whatever their age, people should be prepared for lifelong learning. Whenever I learn something I can’t wait to pass it on. This blog is my means of doing so. The network above is a private network, which will allow our students a safe space to communicate. Any content generated is visibile only to group members and all is moderated.

Here is a link to a Wikispace dedicated to Social Networks in Education.
