There is definitely value in having Scootle to access educational objects to assist with the teaching learning program.
I have finally succumbed to the social pressures of joining Facebook...all due to a cousin who wanted to make contact with a long distance relative! After experiencing a school reunion as recent as the weekend and everyone asking if I was on Facebook, at least I was able to say I was...now I just have to use it!
I can't really see the value of me working with Education in Second Life...mind you, I used an excellent resource from this to assist with developing my students' knowledge of discrimination and ostracisation.
Twitter in plain English tutorial is an excellent summary of this social networking tool...I think I like the idea of having only 140 characters to record a comment!
As for the relevance of using Facebook or Twitter in the classroom, I am yet to be convinced...I need to be more proficient myself before I even dare step in this direction.
