If you thought the Internet revolutionized the education landscape, you’ve not seen anything yet! Social networking technologies like blogging, RSS, file sharing, podcasting, search engines, and user generated content have exploded, with Forrester research showing that 22% of adults read blogs at least monthly, and 19% are members of a social networking site like Facebook or LinkedIn. Even more amazingly, almost one-third of all youth publish a blog at least weekly, and 41% visit a social networking site daily.
Whether you’re an educator, a parent, a tutor or a student, you can’t afford to ignore the growing influence Social Networking has on the way students find, absorb, share and learn information.
