and we are already hearing about "Facebook addiction" For education, FB or a site like FB would be like one stop shopping at Wal Mart. Announcements, pictures, email, video, games.

A nice collection of tools and how they help learners. (Thanks, Julie Lehmer)

This is an excellent resource to help in the completion of a needs analysis!
