 * < [[image:Sidebar.jpg width="187" height="375"]] ||< A few of the positive considerations about using social networking in education are:

Communication can be made faster and easier between two or more people.

Collaborative projects--Because social networking sites do not require physical proximity of users, students can collaborate with people at any variety of distances away. Students can use these sites communication about their projects as well and archive them in their messages. Facebook unlike can hold "group conversations" that can be easier than using e-mails.

Note taking---Some teachers are encouraging students to take notes via Twitter, or to post notes in group pages on Facebook, in order to create group notes collected by the entire class.

Parent/Teacher Contact--Social networking sites allow for a variety of communication between parents and teachers, such as "tweets" about homework or assignment calendars

And many more :) (link to a list of 100 uses of Facebook in education)
