While social networking is expanding in popularity, little is known about how educators are using these Web 2.0 collaborative technologies, and whether or not they see a value in them for education. MMS Education has collaborated with edWeb.net and MCH to conduct a new benchmarking study of educators’ use of and attitudes about social networking and content-sharing websites.
The study, Survey of K-12 Educators on Social Networking and Content-Sharing Tools, was conducted with the input of more than 70,000 principals, school librarians and teachers.
