  Some of the big ones to at least "try" as an educational technologist:
  
  1. Facebook
  2. YouTube
  3. Twitter
  4. LinkedIn
  5. Create your own blog
  6. The EdTech Graduate Student Association
  
  I've also made some interesting connections with my participation on the IT Forum (a listserv for instructional technologists), and the Second Life EdTech Community.

  Thanks for clarifying that. I was under the impression I was going to find some "academic Facebook" out there, but after searching, I could not. I am also struggling with the analytic tool aspect. I have read up on them, and I see that YouTube has one, but I am not really understanding how to execute the analysis needed for the project. I am leaning toward using YouTube because I have some comfort level with it. I would be willing to try Facebook as well, buy I really have doubts about being able to complete the analysis given the information I have found on their analytic tools. Everyone please feel free to jump in and contribute anything related to Module 3!!

  GREAT questions! OK, so if you are 1) contributing to YouTube, that means you are uploading your own videos, yes? and if you are 2) responding to YouTube contributions of others, it means you will be leaving feedback comments and ratings on other's videos, yes?
  
  So, YouTube has some nice analytic tools built-in. Once you upload a video, you can look at how many people have viewed it, their demographics (gender, where they live, age, etc). You can also see high/low points where people stop watching the video, etc.
  
  Does this help?
