Second, we really like your movement towards introducing students to social networking. We at Geni, are starting to work with some schools, because we feel that our social network is a great way to bring families closer through a positive learning experience. You can read one teacher's experience while using Geni with her class, here: http://blog.geni.com/2008/05/schools-embrace.html Also, if anyone has any suggestions for us or would like to learn more about using Geni in a classroom environment, feel free to contact us. Once again, thank you for including us. First, thank you for the mention, we appreciate it. Second, we really like your movement towards introducing students to social networking.

It seems to me that the concept of a "social network" sort of implies voluntary participation. A school or teacher can ask a student to join a social network with no FERPA implications. Unless the teacher intends to disclose information about a student that is not defined by the school as "directory information," no release from the student is necessary.

We are concerning ourselves with this all the time, as we continue to try to make LearnHub relevant to academic education. So far, LearnHub is proving successful in informal learning and subjects like <a href="http://sat-prep.learnhub.com" rel="nofollow">SAT test prep</a> but we'd love to make it work better in other areas. Amen!
