David Warlick's Social Networking Wiki

David Warlick put out a request to his readers yesterday to participate on building a wiki about Social Networking. He is doing a presentation and wanted to create an example to show his audience. The following questions were posted on wikispaces and almost immediately the document started growing and changing.

1. What is Social Networking?
2. What are some of the differences between how our students use social networking and how professional educators use it?
3. What are your favorite social networking applications?
4. What’s the latest thing you learned from a social network?

Over 100 folks accessed the page and I had a blast going back at various times during the day to look at the changes. It was my first time participating in a collaborative wiki and I gained some useful insight from participating.
