[LM_NET] Safe Social Networking For Schools? + Exciting Project

[Jacqueline Henry <JHenry@GANANDA.ORG>]

I have a great project going on here.  4 teams of kids are designing the "School of 
Tomorrow".  The ultimate goal is to identify the best way for students to learn, 
and then create proposals for change to happen in our own school.  It is a 
competitive project.  Each team will present to a panel of judges AND to the 
student body.  Judges will judge based on a rubric.  Students will vote for the 
best presentation and the 4 best ideas from any team. 
 
One of the teams has asked me if there are any safe, school oriented social 
networking sites available - either web-based OR software that could be used only 
within the school.  Any information or leads that you could give me will be most 
gratefully accepted.
 
If you are interested in reading more - here is the basic outline of the project.

Also - here is the resource list I created on 21st Century Schools.
