Hi all,
It is also my first time writing in the list.
This week I have started a course on International Accounting where I am using a SNS to connect around 100 people in the class. I have prepared an "emerging paper" on this experience and looking forward to getting the results by the end of May.
I would be very interested to keep in contact with other researchers working on this. My field is finance and accounting, but my PhD research is based on Webometric techniques. I am trying also to explore Web 2.0 tools in the class and report on the experience.
Dear Christine I would also be very interested to read your literature review when it is ready.
Best,

Hi Yifeng,
We have done a fairly extensive review of the educational research literature databases and table of contents scans in a dozen leading educational research journals looking for published empirical work on the incorporation of Web 2.0 technologies, especially SNSs into teaching and learning. In our experience, most of the current scholarship focuses on
the
integration of blogs and wikis and, to a lesser extent, podcasting. There are few studies that focus on the integration of SNSs in education or study SNSs from educational perspectives; that said, there are some studies that focus on SNSs as they are being used on college campuses. See for example this latest ECAR study 2008 with chapter on SNSs:
http://connect.educause.edu/Library/Abstract/TheECARStudyofUndergradua/47485
In addition, the Digital Youth Project focuses on young people's use of SNSs and other digital media outside of schools -- http://digitalyouth.ischool.berkeley.edu/
You might also be interested in Aleman & Wartman (2009) Online Social Networking on Campus: Understanding What Matters in Student Culture. New York: Routledge -- came out Jan, 09
Finally, my colleagues and I have a few articles coming out that you may
be
interested in that deal with high school students' learning with SNSs/development of 21st century competencies. Moreover, we will have a draft of the literature review I mention this spring, if you're interested.
Best wishes,
Christine

Hi All,
This is my first time posting an inquiry to this list.
I am wondering if anyone knows any literature/research about incorporating Web 2.0 technologies (especially Social Networking Sites) in teaching. Any relevant references/sources would be appreciated. Thanks!
