Hi Crawford! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on the use of social networking for educational purposes! There are so many options available to use for personal use and professional (educational) use. I agree with what you said in the beginning that social networking in education is utilitarian. There must be a specific purpose that the tool is being used for. It’s not effective to just use a social networking tool just to say that it’s being used for educational purposes. Students are not being effectively taught and not effectively learning if there is no specific purpose to the tool.
