Again the report I mentioned these days. The findings are really amazing. It’s now quite clear that [tag-tec]web 2.0[/tag-tec] will not fade away – despite those never-ending debates about its legitimation as a term. Especially social networking sites like [tag-ice]Facebook[/tag-ice] and synchronous media like Instant Messaging penetrated the youth. School are somehow prompted to adapt to that developments.

Here the latest report on what US-kids are doing online. Lots of indications that schools just need to adapt to it and offer adequate tools. You know what I mean. I’m preaching the [tag-tec]ePortfolio[/tag-tec] way since we are a vendor and consultancy.

Release of study, “Creating & Connecting: Research and Guidelines on Online Social and Educational [tag-ice]Networking[/tag-ice]” The report, available now for media only at http://files.nsba.org/creatingandconnecting.pdf , is embargoed until Tuesday, August 14, at 12:01 a.m.

Key findings:

* 96 percent of students with online access use social networking technologies, such as chatting, text messaging, blogging, and visiting online communities such as [tag-ice]Facebook[/tag-ice], [tag-tec]MySpace[/tag-tec], and Webkinz.

I started a new business today. During the last 4 years I was contacted quite a lot of times from students that were let down by their supervisors at Universities and Fachhochschulen (Universities for Applied Sciences as the call themselves in English). Only recently I decided to help them with a structured information package that eases their pain.
