Safe Social Networking Tailored for K-12 Schools

     I think educational social-networking sites is a genius way to get children motivated to work together on their school work. Everyone has had the teacher that completely prohibited talking or any kind of socialization between the students during class time. I think this is an ideal way for students to use technology in a healthy and safe way. Students could be motivated by being asked to post one interesting thing per day that they have learned. This will promote conversation in the same way that Facebook does but will be able to be monitored to ensure a safe environment for the students. I do, however, worry that the subscription fees will discourage many school districts from adopting these social networks.
