  • they enable users to articulate and make visible their social networks
  • While SNSs have implemented a wide variety of technical features, their backbone consists of visible profiles that display an articulated list of Friends1 who are also users of the system.
  • Structural variations around visibility and access are one of the primary ways that SNSs differentiate themselves from each other.

  • primarily organized around people, not interests
  • "Friends" on SNSs are not the same as "friends" in the everyday sense; instead, Friends provide context by offering users an imagined audience to guide behavioral norms.
  • there are passive members, inviters, and linkers "who fully participate in the social evolution of the network"
  • most SNSs primarily support pre-existing social relations.

    This blog is written by an early childhood teacher out of Florida. She uses this to update her parents and communicate with them about what is going on in the classroom. She posts entries here and there and also uploads pictures to share, which offers a balanced view of the classroom. She has it organized by recent posts, where parents can click on the title and also by categories. Additionally she has a bar on the side of her page which offers great websites and resources that parents can access.

    Scholastic website is well-organized and has good resources available. One can sort online learning activities by age level, including Pre K-K activities. The blog appears to be the same as Christina's Classroom (Christian Germano).

    This was one of my tools that I used for the tech project. As a teaching tool in an increasingly computerized world, I think it is important to use what people know and are comfortable. As one of the most used social networking sites worldwide, facebook is a great tool for this use. I know I've used it in education settings (setting up meetings, chatting with classmates, making a schedule and sending messages, and having a group dedicated to a class or group project). In using facebook in the classroom, you use a powerful tool that students will use whether it has educational content or not. The educational information might as well be embedded in this site that would be more commonly checked and utilized than just about any other technology tool (with the exception of email).

    Not that useful for parents and young children. You can create post-its but it seems like there are more effective ways to get your message to someone.

    I really like this website. I think think that it could be useful in classroom or with families. In the classroom it could be used to easily access information found online throughout the day or as a means of communication with parents to get their feedback on things that are happening in class. At home you could send a link to you "wall" to different family members and post different photos or even artwork that children have completed. The content that is posted on your "wall" is edited and maintained by the creator, which allows for creativity and monitoring. Overall this was easy to use and could really be a fun way for people to interact!

    Yonkly is a resource very similar to Twitter. To quote from its website it "allows you to create a white-label microblog community that is fully customizable". This resource would allow someone to keep up with the user of Yonkly. It's extremely easy to navigate, and while complicated when you read into all the technical aspects of it (like I did), it really is a good alternative tool for social networking.

    Art Junction serves as a way for students and teachers to further their artistic abilities through the activities, projects, and resources offered on the site. It also allows for students, teachers, or other professionals to not only share their art but also their experiences in creating it. It offers ways for communities to work together for a certain cause, such as thinking of creative ways to help the environment. The blog is also up to date, informative, and full of good ideas.

    This is a collaborative document site that allows any number of collaborators to access their documents from any computer and will remind you of changes made. The website has many ofher useful features. You could use this tool in any number of ways. Students could use this site, but younger students would need some help and guidance.
