Creating a Social Network for Your College: The Walled Garden Approach [Wednesday]

Social Networking is a powerful tool both in and out of the classroom. Facebook has over 100 million users, but how do we leverage a Social Networking System (SNS) for education purposes? The College of Education at NC State University has created their own SNS using the Ning platform. We hope to leverage the popularity of these SNS, such as MySpace and Facebook, in a more professional environment. Our goal is to encourage discourse and sharing both in and out of the classroom. This session will discuss the basics of setting up your own social network, the research behind the use of SNS in education, and how the usage of this tool is affecting our college.
