Baseline Studies

As a group we decided that Facebook and Twitter were not really appropriate ‘social networking’ tools. In regards to Facebook it was just too casual and not private or secure enough for our liking. Thanks to Diana’s initiative a Ning was set up that worked brilliantly for our different time zones and demands that life has.

Twitter did not allow for us to have long blogs which was not appropriate for the task at hand. However, in saying this there were many other purposes for twitter but not in this particular context. In a work situation colleagues could use this to ask for opinions about situations within their classroom. In this particular situation the question could be answered promptly and effectively.

Second life, was just out of the question where no body agreed on this as it was not an appropriate tool to use.
