Computers are becoming more important in schools. Nowadays, many documents are required to be typed. Many documents are also distributed online by teachers. Many tasks can be facilitated by a centralized website for distribution and interaction.
With social networks on the rise, its power can be harnessed to help students. These social networks can make use of information available only from the school, such as what class a student has in what period. This can make organizing activities easier, as well as allowing teachers a centralized method for distributing content.
To encourage the use of this educational social network, developers can provide integration with preexisting social networks to ease the introduction to the new system.
