Social networking sites have educational benefits

University of Minnesota researcher Christine Greenhow breaks down how her research has found that social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace can have an impact for learning and educational growth for high school students. By working with students in a Minneapolis high school to study how they use the social sites, she has discovered that the benefits may just outweigh any risks.

This video is part of the Expert Perspectives series at the University of Minnesota.

At last i have found a video that says social networking has a positive benefit. The effects of social media would depend on how an individual uses it. Too much of something can be harmful.

I have to create a short documentary on why social networking is an effective tool and how there are many good sides to it, this short interview will help me a lot to get my point across and has given my some very good ideas for arguments. Too many people are too close minded to see that there really is a very good side to it and just listen to the media instead.

Thank you!
