I agree that social media is a party however some people are better at partying than others. A few quiet guys at the party seemed to have figured out how to turn the party into a learning opportunity. There is Scholarz.net which lets academics share information and WePapers.com which is an online study group. Both these sites have social networking features which open communication between students and make learning easier. Hope the presentation goes well, would love to hear it.

The collaborative nature of social media fits perfectly with the cohort Gen Y. Interesting that they are both coming of age at the same time. About the party, the possibilities are mind blowing so maybe Education is the guy who is a little stunned! Education will catch up. Great post, Michael!
