Young People and Social Networking Services
DigiZen just released a comprehensive guide on social networks, youth and how to evaluate and use these tools for education purposes. " ... adults should also recognise the benefits of young people's use of technology to support their media literacy skills and social participation, and explore the potential educational benefits of social networking services." The 37-page PDF covers risks, benefits and several checklists that should be useful to many educators. -HJ Josie Fraser, Digizen, June 26, 2008.
