LL4Schools is a safe social network for schools. It is not open for self-registration but only through a school registering with us and then supplying a list is users to create for them. I have also put in place some other e-safety measures "outside" the elgg code to try and make it a safe place for both teachers and students to work together. I'm sure I don't need to rehearse the arguments for using social networking technology with students here! I have put together an overview (http://www.ll4schools.co.uk/overview/) and other documentation and screencasts are on the site. Please feel free to take a look at any of the public parts.
LL4Education is free for educationalists to use as they see fit - perhaps as a way to see how LL4Schools works or as their own social networking site. I don't expect to compete with eduspaces but if you want to join LL4Education then please feel free to do so. You can do what I do - feed your blog from here into LL4Education via the "Your Resources" tab.
If you know are are working with schools that are looking into using social networking and not sure what to do perhaps you could point them to these sites to explore.
Please put any feedback you have on either site here or, if you prefer, contact me direct at john.hackett@ll4schools.co.uk.
