    This dissertation is a research study conducted by Robert Miller at Northcentral University. The research study provides a sound basis for developing high school communication, collaboration and digital literacy skills. There were three primary social networking sites which utilized the above skills. The sites were Facebook, Diigo, and Google. Online learning in high school equates to lifelong learning. The research suggests that social networking engages high school learners to engage in authentic learning. It is important to develop life long learning skills where students collaborate and discuss important topics in their environment. Discussion learning allows learners to develop their social skills and impact their communities.
