 * Social networks defined

 * National School Boards Association Study (2007)...encouraging schools to take another look at the use of social networks in classrooms and “explore ways in which they could use social networking for educational purposes” — and reconsider some of their fears
 * "...37% of districts say at least 90% of their staff are participating in online communities of their own — related to education"
 * "...In fact, 76% of parents expect social networking will improve their children’s reading and writing skills, or help them express themselves more clearly..."
 * 52% prohibit any social networking sites in school
