Social Networking, Digital Discourse & Think.com

Kids and teachers can create "debates" on Think.com and invite others to take a position and defend it. Think.com was created by the Oracle Education Foundation, and is available in eight languages.

More from the Think.com web site:

"Only students and teachers from member schools can enter this password-protected learning community. Once inside, members use websites and interactive tools to publish their ideas, collaborate on projects, and build knowledge together."
Thanks to Wesley Fryer for the tip! He has a terrific podcast featuring Cheryl Oaks on "using the Think.com environment to help students learn about Internet safety and appropriate digital discourse."
