Nicola teaches GCSE students how to use their social networking skills to retrieve information more effectively and collaborate on revising for exams.  Students  find out how to  set up a personalised homepage (currently using iGoogle) and exploit RSS feeds to bring information directly to their desktop. The course outline: Online Study Skills is available to view on Google Docs.

A warts and all examination of the problems of trying to teach these vital social media skills in school can be found in this 6 minute talk that Nicola gave at a conference in 2010.
