I like the idea of social networking as a way of learning from others. It's a great way to utilize a format that enables people to reach out to other parts of the globe. With respect to learning, who wouldn't want to have that option to speak with other people in a different part of the world. I wonder how would this type of learning benefit someone with learning disabilities? I want my son to go back to school so badly but he is very insecure about his abilities, mainly because he did poorly in high school. I wonder if a format could be created that would allow these kids the ability to learn given their disability? I'm not sure if one already exists, but I think the idea would be worthwhile. There are so many more adults being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, that it would probably benefit them if there was a way to learn that was more on their terms. I realize that most students who are classified get accomodations from their respective schools, but there is that percentage of students who aren't classified, but still have difficulty with learning.
