Today, information and communication technologies such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter are some of the most popular technologies available on the Internet, with millions of users worldwide. Research is still trying to discover how people use them, for what purposes, and in what settings, and investigate how they may be shaping the ways they think, work, and communicate. In this article, the author describes two of the trends in using these tools that she and her colleagues see happening, based on their own research. First, social bookmarking sites, such as Delicious, Diigo, and CiteULike, can provide the resources to facilitate a scholarly approach to teaching where teachers concerned with developing research-based best practices can collectively assemble, annotate, recommend, and share scholarly resources, such as books, journal articles, websites, and contacts. Second, social networking tools, such as Facebook, Classroom 2.0, Ning, and Twitter, can be used to garner collective emotional support and recognition for one's creative practices. In their work studying the potential educational benefits and challenges of social network site use among urban teenagers, the author and her colleagues found that such technologies could function as social learning resources and spaces for new literacy practices.
