Is your institution using Facebook?
According to a report, if you’re not then you could be missing out.

Those of you who read my blog will know that I am not a great fan of facebook, the more useful and serious sides of the social networking sites seem to be overshadowed by users throwing zombies and playing games.

In respect to Bebo, the same picture can be seen though more often it is the younger learner who is using Bebo.
