I've been using scootle for a while and am the manger for my school so this wasn't new - i do think it's a wonderful resource - i wish there was more money being spent on developing more learning objects.
I'm also a member of facebook so social networking isn't new. I'm not sure about using it in the classroom, and in any case social networking sites are blocked at BCR. I had to get wetpaint unblocked in the middle of a task with my students when it was suddenly defined as a social networking site!
The second life video was interesting but again i am hesitant about using it with my students. They are becoming so open to exploitation through their use of web 2.0 - I really have to sit down and have a think about what i encourage them to do online...
