G'day Jeff A virtual classroom hosted on eLearn wouldn't do the job? The teacher would be able to setup a wiki that would allow students to create profiles (a new wiki page for each profile) and upload their files to that page. It would still allow others to comment on the wiki page (like writing on a facebook wall), but would all be protected within EQ space. You could further enhance it with blogs and other activities within the unit, all in a one stop shop. It might not be quite as 'elegant' as a proper profile on a social networking site, but it is a lot safer and easier to administer within our own system. Happy to provide any further elaboration if needed; hope it helps! :) Cheers Tony

"I do a 6- 8 week yr 11 drama unit called cyber- theatre. Students work in groups to create a character, they then create a profile for this character. I am hoping to get EQ permission to use Ning Space. The students have to create a number of video clips and upload these to their characters profile page. Including video intro of character, news report, symbolic response in either photo story / movie maker, and an improvised webcamed blogologue. In the past the students have really loved this unit. I am going to have to seek permission from EQ to allow students to access NING, ( I can set this up as a private space that only the yr 11 drama students can access). Do you have any idea how I would go about seeking this permission???" If anyone has any ideas of either how to go about this or an alternative could you let me know.
