Social Networking - Alone in the Crowd

My brother, Tom Novak, Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, just provided me with this article about the book Alone in the Crowd, featured in the Monitor on Psychology, about social networking that I want to share with you (http://www.apa.org/monitor/2011/06/social-networking.aspx). This article provides ideas to consider about the potential issues that can occur when using Social Networking. It is important to observe both sides of an issue to make informed decisions. Keeping the focus on educational outcomes when using social networks can assure that the technologies work towards learning outcomes and benefit the students.
