'A social network service is an online service, platform or site that focuses on building and reflecting social networks or social relations among people, e.g. who share interests and/or activities.'
(Ref: Wikipedia)
'A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.' (Ref: Wikipedia)
Through social networking sites and blogs, it is possible for you to consult with subject and education experts around the world. These communication tools help you to build a personal learning network (PLN). Examples of popular social networking sites include Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn. It is even possible to communicate with your students via a blog.
Teachers should be able to use ICT to communicate and collaborate with students, peers, parents and the larger community in order to nurture student learning (KD.4.e).
