    Fahad bin Mohammed Al-Attiya is faced with a daunting task-he needs to make sure that Qatar is able to become self-sufficient by 2030, the year Qatar's National Vision would be realized.

"If a teacher creates his or her own network, students will post as if their teacher is watching them, and they'll tend to be more safe. "You can build social networks around the curriculum," Mosea adds, "so you can use them as a teaching resource or another tool." An online social network is another tool -- but it's a tool with an advantage: It wasn't just imposed by teachers; the students have chosen it.
