Educational Benefits Of Social Networking Sites

University of Minnesota Researchers have discovered educational benefits of social networking sites such as Facebook.

Greenhow said that the study's results, while proving that social networking sites offer more than just social fulfillment or professional networking, also have implications for educators, who now have a vast opportunity to support what students are learning on the Web sites.

The same study found that low-income students are in many ways just as technologically proficient as their counterparts, going against what results from previous studies have suggested.
