I can imagine an educator using a SN with students who can contribute to conversations about topics discussed in class. Even for example post a MySpace video of their comments and begin conversations, etc. I work with professional students who use web-based resources such as MySpace, YouTube, Live Meeting. Can these be extended to create better formal learning communities? Would be interested in hearing about any examples of how educators are using SNs to engage with students virtually.
