]]> Comment on Is that Myspace you’re looking at? by Veronica http://verovera.edublogs.org/2008/06/10/is-that-myspace-youre-looking-at/comment-page-1/#comment-14 Veronica Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:40:52 +0000 http://verovera.edublogs.org/?p=45#comment-14 Oh, really? Sorry about that, thank you very much! I must have misread the article, but I thought it was something that was being used for educational purposes. And yeah, I definitely agree with that. I feel it's a wonderful idea to create a site that can help with one's teaching, especially the kind that children can contribute to and use to interact with others, my only concern was taking something like Myspace and trying to TURN that into something educational when it really.. isn't. So yeah, I hope I made sense! Thanks for the clear up! Oh, really? Sorry about that, thank you very much!

In other words, it can be used to power social networking sites, and there are thousands of Elgg sites currently out there in the wild. Elgg doesn't solely have an educational focus, but the point is this: you can use it to create a network specific to your goals. Rather than fitting your teaching to the tool, you can fit your tool to the teaching. Surely that's the way software should work? Just a couple of minor corrections:
