There are so many ways to socialise nowadays. It is scary to think who may be reading your messages etc. With children it is so important to educate them on the safe use of social networking. Unsupervised use of these sites may lead to such dangerous and harmful comments etc.
Second life looks like a great resource to use when wanting students to experience different aspects of life/education in a different way. I don't think this would be an effective resource for younger students as it does look a little bit complex. I can see how useful it would be in secondary school or even years 5 and 6.
Twitter is also great for educational purposes. I have created a Twitter account and by doing this I am able to follow what other people in the field of education are reading etc.
I'm still not too sure about Facebook in schools. Some more food for thought I guess.
