If you haven't seen it yet, the latest issue of Leading and Learning magazine (ISTE's quarterly magazine) has a great article on using Elgg (the some open source social networking platform that Commun-IT is built upon) with K-12 students. Well worth the read and good inspiration to how we can embrace these type of tools rather than deny they exist by shutting them out of classroom practices.
Full article text is available online here.
(disclaimer - I'm one of the contributors to the Elgg project, so I am a bit biased about what a great tool it is :-)
