"Social" Wanna Know Wed February 3rd

We will look at a new Social Networking site called twiducate. This is a free resource for educators. Developed in 2009, their goal is to create a medium for teachers and students to continue their learning outside the classroom. This site differs in that only teachers and students may view classroom posts, thus creating a private network for you and your students and a safer online learning environment.

Many students already use social networking sites. Why not give them an opportunity to develop their learning in this type of environment but with control over visibility and content. Talk about student engagement!


It is a fact that students will need social networking, blogging and basic internet skills to compete in today's business world. As educators with an interest in web 2.0, we understand how education has and will continue to change. We want to provide an opportunity for our students to explore web 2.0 but are constantly facing barriers with existing social networking sites.
