Abstract

Over past few years, online social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut, Bebo and Twitter have grown in terms of popularity. While most people use these social networking tools to connect with friends, but by going through a close study one can easily observe that their utility extends much beyond the scope of knowing and connecting like-minded peoples. Such tool can also be used for learning and knowledge sharing purposes. Effective use of Social networking site becomes more valuable, when used for promoting Education. "Educational Networking" is an appropriate term, which uses social networking technologies for educational purposes. As the phrase "social networking" can sometime carries negative impact and specifying for educators, the phrase "educational networking" seems to be safer and more objectively towards discussing the pedagogical value. In this article, we have tried to provide a brief overview of how and why social network should be devoted to education starting from School level to Graduate and Post graduate level. Our works also include a bit of review of the concepts, definitions and categorizations available in Social Network literature. We have also argued on the central characteristic of Educational networking, which is a combination or personalization and socialization. This combination has a potential to facilitate the transparency between student communities. Such transparency gives students an insight into each other's work, leading to an increase in quality and benchmark of their own work.
