Flat Classroom Project Ning
All students and teachers should join this, our educational network which looks a lot like Facebook. Here are the guidelines:
1) Students may use no more than their first name, last initial unless your teacher lets us know otherwise.
2) Please accurately identify where you're from.
3) Your teacher will create a group for your school - join the group.
4) This site is PUBLICLY viewable, however you have to be approved to join, so please be patient because we check everyone's profiles and will not approve you unless you are appropriately set up.
5) Check with your teacher on appropriate content - we ban first, ask questions later if there are incidents, although we rarely have to do this because our students are AMAZING!

I’m really just thinking aloud here right now, in response to some of the valid fears that folks have about adding themselves to the mix online. Trust is a big issue everywhere, it seems. Are there better ways to grow that in our online communities?

Friendfeed scripts for those who love the service (I"m not as much up on it as some) but it integrates twitter and linked in information. For those who like to hack their connections.
LinkedIn: Join Group on LinkedIn
Linked in now has groups. I think linked in is important for professionals and doesn't have the "I'm looking for a job" feel of Monster. ISTE has created a group on linked in.

PBS teachersa is adding social networking and bookmarking tools. You can create a personal profile on pbs teachers connect now. This article talks about it.
Still wish we'd call it educational networking or professional networking depending upon what we're doing.

A social network for first and second graders -- this is free. Cheryl says it is a little bit "clunky" -- access is not so fast, however, it is a growing free tool for very young children.
