[Olpc-france] Social Media Classroom: New Web 2.0 Platform for Education

[Sebastien Adgnot]

The Social Media Classroom <http://socialmediaclassroom.com/> (SMC) is a new
project started by Howard Rheingold <http://smartmobs.com/> which offers an
open-source Drupal-based web service to teachers and students for the
purpose of introducing social media into the classroom. The service includes
tools like forums, blogs, wikis, chat, social bookmarking, RSS,
microblogging, widgets, video conferencing, and more. The SMC is more than
just a collection of new media tools repurposed for educational use, though.
The end goal of the service is to move education away from being a
unidirectional delivery of knowledge to become a more collaborative learning
process.
