For film lovers who wish to connect and discuss, we created the Chat About Cinema edusocial community: http://chataboutcinema.snappville.com

French Learners Online is another edusocial community for language learners and teachers to connect: http://LearnFrenchOnline.snappville.com

Learn Spanish Online is another edusocial community for language learners and teachers: http://learnspanishonline.snapville.com

If there could be another word that could complement EduSocial, I’d use Transformative as in Transformational. What man thrives in the dark?

Of these communities, English Learners Online connected nearly 1,000 members from 75 nations through learning English: http://urlvis.info/8

So yes, I started 32 different communities I defined, though I don’t think I was the first with the phrase, EduSocial, http://urlvis.info/7

At that time there was a craze for social networking and MySpace was king. I found Me.com which encouraged members to start their own sites

For several months ideas hit me – how do like-minded people connect and benefit from each others’ company and expertise? It started with 32.

The idea to redefine the web where meaningful learning and interaction coexist dawned on me close to two and a half years ago.

EduSocial is neither purely educational, nor purely social, it is a virtual social learning phenomenon where you connect, share, thrive.
