Just as participation in social networking has grown, so has media coverage of inappropriate activity online. Teacher-student relationships and cyberbullying are just a few of the stories that seem to make the news on a regular basis. For educators, this is particularly troubling, considering how few students know what is appropriate when using social networking tools. With the legal, moral, and ethical risks associated with online communication, it is understandable why many school districts hesitate to use social networking as a way to prepare students to be safe and responsible digital citizens. There are, however, new social networks that allow for tighter control. These networks allow students to communicate with their peers, teachers, and administrators on a platform that is open and accountable.
