Social networking sites have educational benefits

University of Minnesota researcher Christine Greenhow breaks down how her research has found that social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace can have an impact for learning and educational growth for high school students. By working with students in a Minneapolis high school to study how they use the social sites, she has discovered that the benefits may just outweigh any risks.

It is safe to say that you get a lot of educational benefits from every single thing that you do. It is just highlighted in social media because information is readily available. Facebook can be a good source of information if you have friends that share a lot of good reads instead of their own personal rants.

very nice points that you mentioned

[@RayRift]

Remember in 1995 when chatting on AOL and emailing with hotmail was thought of as anti-social by the socialites? But Internet natives just thought, well whatever, they don't know what they're talking about, and are really missing out.
Looks like digital communication is socially acceptable and even educational now that everyone over 40 has discovered Facebook.
Still I'd say, for high schoolers, the risks of Myspace outweigh the benefits. Lets be discerning here.
