4.+Making+Connections

The main way in which participants can generate matieral and share experitise is through the blog section; however, there is a link to the producer's e-mail, so part of what I want to do to improve upon the shared expertise portion is to have my students submit to their management team relevant stories, pictures, links, etc. so that they feel as if they can play a larger role outside of blogging. In terms of connections, the social networking portion of the site, which includes a dating service, certainly allows participants to connect. I will, however, explain to students they must be 18 and over to participate on the dating portion of the site.
