Educational Networks - Wikispaces

Hi everyone,

First of all Thanks for follow this academic blog each week, today I'm going to talk about Educational Networks, as you know nowadays Social Networks are very popular and they are everywhere, even you can access from your cellphone, this kind of networks are done just with the purpose to chat, upload photos and share your daily life but they can be used for academic purposes that could be a great idea.

Why?

Because lots of people have this kind of accounts, they could use it for academic purposes in order to create a huge information resource as is happening with EduTwitter that basicaly is a project to use this Social Network as a tool for education.

In the other hand we found a powerful tool for education called Wkispaces, but what is exactly a Wikispace? Well this is a Website where you can use several tools in order to share reliable information with people from all around the world.


I personally think it's a perfect option to Teachers because they can use that space to reinforce any topic seen during class or having classes by this website in case some issue do not let attend a presential class.
