I work on two non-profit projects that engage girls and/or under-represented populations in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)--the ITEST Learning Resource Center and the National Girls Collaborative Project.
Right now, I am formulating a proposal to test the effectiveness of bringing social networking technologies into high schools.
In addition to looking into social networking technologies I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's we based power point presentation platform. Both web technologies maybe helpful in your work of online collaboration.
Hi Suzanne, I found some awesome sites in the education.ning.com site as well. As soon as I can message you I will send you the private link. You can email me at bduarte.teach@gmail.com Thanks!
