Thanks for visiting! If you’ve been to my presentation on social networking in the classroom, you’ll know that the above slides don’t contain all the information from my presentation. If there’s something you’ve forgotten, feel free to contact me.

Below are some links to resources you might find helpful. If there’s something you’d like me to add that you don’t see here, just fill out the comment box at the bottom of the page.
