At 9:01pm on June 25, 2008, Cory Plough said…: We ran the social network as a pilot program last semester at our online school. There were a couple hundred kids in it and about 5 teachers. We did very little instruction in the network, it was more of a feeling out process but we did do some. Our government teacher ran a couple unit projects through there and had the kids involved in multimedia sharing and analysis. They ran a discussion board in their group about each project topic. They shared resources and final projects.

The network was mainly a place where kids helped each other with problems. We will definitely run more projects through there next year as it expands, but it really has helped our school form a community and activates collaboration.
