Reflections on Educational Networking
Educational social networks are a positive element for education. They provide collaboration between other educational colleagues and students. A student who may seem shy in class, now has an open space to express their opinion in what may be a more comfortable setting. There can be peer tutoring. Each new blog and or comment sparks new ideas. The ties that grow will become stronger that will affect learning of all individuals. It is the individuals that hold the knowledge.
