Please do take a look if you haven't already - it's online under a CC license to encourage as many educators to make free use of it as possible. Best wishes, Josie.

I haven't had the chance to use social networks in class yet, but am dying to start. Right now I only have kids for either 10 or 25 days at a time, so I need to wait til I have my own class.

Please let me know how you build on, and adapt these guidelines - I'm sure I've forgotten something important! Next, I really need to ask for your help in learning about Second Life - expect an e-mail soon :) Kevin,

This post is a veritable road map for educators seeking to adopt social networking in the classroom! It will be a tremendous help to me and my three colleagues; we have just begun a Ning with a group of 6th and 7th graders as part of a professional learning community / study group we're conducting. We don't have global connections, we don't have a direct classroom connection (we meet after school) but we're stepping into the social networking waters at a pace that is comfortable for our district. Your work provides a foundation upon which we can expand the conversation. We look forward to following your projects! Keep up the great work! -kj- Kim,
