23. Twitter • Jack Dorsey had grown interested in the simple idea of being able to know what his friends were doing. Specifically, Jack wondered if there might be an opportunity to build something compelling around this simple status concept. When he brought the idea up to his colleagues, it was decided that a prototype should be built. • Twitter asks one question, "What are you doing?" Answers must be under 140 characters in length and can be sent via mobile texting, instant message, or the web.

24. Twitter • “Twitter is like a giant conference that’s on all the time,” Anderson - an instructional technologist at Clemmons Middle School in the 52,000-student Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school system in North Carolina-says. “I always know I can find something I can use. That’s huge.”

25. Facebook • Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[6] The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include (potentially) any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The original concept for Facebook was borrowed from a product produced by Zuckerberg's prep school Phillips Exeter Academy, which for decades published and distributed a printed manual of all students and faculty, unofficially called the "face book". The website currently has more than 400 million active users worldwide (found on July 6, 2010 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook)

28. Flip Side • In April, the principal of Ridgewood, N.J.’s Benjamin Franklin Middle School, Anthony Orsini, sent out an e-mail to his students’ parents asking them to bar their children from using social-networking sites to prevent online bullying. “There is absolutely no reason for any middle school student to be a part of a social-networking site,” Orsini wrote in the e-mail.

29. Flip Side • Also in April, Utah’s 68,300-student Granite school district barred teachers and students from “friending” each other on Facebook. And Louisiana state law requires all school districts to document every electronic interaction between teachers and students through a “nonschool-issued device, such as a cellphone or e-mail account.”

30. Flip Side • “Facebook is too much of an intrusion into students’ personal and social lives for educators to be using it as an educational method,” Montana Miller-an assistant professor of popular culture at Bowling Green State University, in Ohio, and a Facebook expert-says. “I’m not against collaborative, online education with students, but I am against merging their personal home, private family world with something that is required for a class activity. Millions of things can go wrong.”

31. Possible Solution: • In fact, most social-networking sites like Facebook and Ning require users to be at least 13 to participate. That’s why private wikis or blogs or other social-networking tools designed for school use can often be more beneficial in such situations.

32. Fears about how to proceed with social-networking sites and tools should not prevent educators from using them. • “If you don’t take that golden opportunity to teach students about the responsibility of using these things, you lose a teachable moment.” • “If schools block them, they’re preventing students from learning the skills they need to know.” From http://www.edweek.org//dd/articles/2010/06/16/03networking.h03.html found on 7/12/10
