- http://21classes.com/ (Most Popular with Dysart Teachers) Great Blog Site where teachers can create student Blog accounts while controlling and moderating them.

Yet another Blog site for teachers and students. Better for the more
savvy teacher and or students. Requires some code importing abilities,
but looks awesome.

Peggy George (Ning, wikis, internet safety on social networks--will
prepare email announcement, post on AzTEA wikispace, and create RSVP
survey on SurveyMonkey so we'll know who is planning to attend and have
an email address to send out a reminder)
Food for thought: Are There Educational Uses for Social Networking Tools?
Other good videos that provide an overview of students today that could be shared with teachers at your schools.

presentation but they provide some excellent supplemental resources for
additional exploration of social networking in schools.
