Coming to terms with the social networking predilection of students can be a headache for educators, but there will come a time where educators themselves will be social networkers . There was a social networking seminar held in August last year as part of the Transforming Learning through ICT.

You can listen to a podcast of the seminar and orientate yourself to the social and teaching implications of social networking on the Curriculum Leadership Journal. Certainly adds clarity to the social networking fog.

The United Nations has declared 2008 the International Year of Languages. One of the main thrusts behind it is to get people to learn languages and make an attempt to communicate with others in their mother tongue. It is a way of making people feel well and at home and relieving their stress. By talking to others in their own language you help develop their sense of belonging and wellbeing and you build bridges.
