You're right. It's unfortunate. They did give up on Kickstart. Read here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/17/another-one-bites-the-dust-yahoo-kickstart-shutters/

I had my students set their age at 18... and then change it again once they joined. With the teacher's as adminstrators controlling who has access to the network, I don't see why Ning's policy should stop you from wanting to use it…

Classroom 2.0 is built on the Ning social network platform... if you want to set it up for your classroom it is as easy as going to ning.com and picking a name. You are right about it being a very useful tool in the classroom, myself and others…

yeah I remember reading about kickstart but I can't seem to figure out if it actually ever launched. I know they announced their launch back in 2007 but I just checked their page and all I see is a redirect to HotJobs. Did Yahoo already give…

Ever considered having them start a Google group for simple discussions and exchange? FYI, Yahoo is coming out with Kickstart - a social network geared towards helping college students and alumni connect professionally. You can read more about it…

You can check out my classroom blog. It is a hybrid sort of. We use it to post lessons, homework and to blog socially. Students are allowed to design their pages, post comments, add applications (within reason), send messages etc. They are also…

This might be a little different but when I taught English in Korea, I set up a Ning network that students and teachers from across our institution could use. The network was targeted at the upper level students who also tended to be older... around…

This is very cool. Exactly what I was looking for. But I have a question... it seems like StudyBlue has been around for awhile (2007) but it seems very quiet... not much discussion happening. Then again it might just be my school (University of…

This looks like a great project. I spent some time browsing through it, but it looks like more of a place for teachers to organize and communicate ideas/projects than a place for students to network and collaborate. You mentioned using wikis...…

I know of two teachers (one high school, one 6th grade) who have used classroom nings with their students. Both report good results. Has anyone else had success using a ning with middle school students, and would be willing to share? I teach 6th…

Thoughts: Social Network Service for Students

Hi all,I am going to try knocking out two things with this post. First I would like to say hi to everyone on classroom 2.0. I am new here, and I look forward to the conversations I will be having with you.And second I am curious to know what social network services built specifically for students exist if any.Something along the lines of what Facebook would have been if it hadn't left its college roots. But a service that focuses far less on the social side (pictures, videos, etc) and more on…See More
