Social networking can be a great way to introduce students to sharing as a group on a particular subject. It is a way of communication that teens are already using for social communication such as with family and friends. It can enhance and bridge gaps between traditional ways of teaching and learning and connect ideas and thoughts in a way that teens not only are used to outside of school, but also in a way that they are more apt to participate in more fully.
Using a blog with your students to enhance traditional ways of teaching could encourage communication and collaboration.
