I was looking to see if there was anyone else out there in the blogosphere saying what I have commented on in the past about mixing school and online social spaces and I stumbled onto Connecting in a Connected World. Allison has a post there that says the same thing as well as links and discussions regarding the use of Facebook or other social networking sites in the educational sphere.
