Social Networking in Education
has released a research report on the use of online social networking by students, titled Creating and Connecting (caution: it’s a pdf file). Overall, an astonishing 96 percent of students with online access report that they ever used any social networking technologies, such as chatting, text messaging, blogging and visiting online communities… Staggering as the 96 percent statistic is, it is intriguing to wonder what the other 4 percent is doing.
