Just started with this course running at Oxford Brookes - just a few online weeks looking at the use of and using Social Software in an educational setting. Mixed emotions really ... on one hand I'm all in favour of using such ICT facilities in education (i.e. education as in learning) - I think that such tools can enable people to learn a lot about themselves, about other people & things. But on the other hand, I'm worried about using such tools in education (i.e. education as in teaching) - there's nothing more powerful as a disincentive to using tools as a teacher telling you that you should!
