Rather than denying college students something they like the most, Myklassroom.com has used the social networking concept to enhance their learning experience

Making learning interesting does not need much. In this age of information technology when most of the services are a finger touch away, companies and entrepreneurs are going that extra mile to ensure that teaching and learning do not lag behind.

Rather than denying college students something they like the most, Myklassroom.com has used the social networking concept to enhance their learning experience.

Myklassroom.com is a social e-learning platform that blends social networking and e-learning to transform the traditional classroom education into an online collaborative teaching and learning method, according to its founder Natraj Thudupathy.

With more than 10 years experience abroad in the technology sector, Mr. Thudupathy has launched this platform targeting colleges and universities. The platform not only connects students and teachers of the same institution, but also other institutions that use the platform. The institution can be anywhere in the world.

The virtual space provided by the platform is used by all the stakeholders of an institution based on a Cloud concept. Each person has an individual membership login ID.

Most of the content is common. There are various links that enable users to access relevant information.

Most of the content is based on the curriculum for each of the undergraduate subjects in the engineering, pure sciences and management domains.

The content is available in text, newspaper clippings, audio and video formats. If the user wishes to access content from outside the platform, there is an approval process to add that content to the existing content.

Provisions are there for creating online assignments, making presentations, and much more. There is an event calendar that gives students information about all that happens in the member colleges.

"Go for the Gold" With SocialCodeMobile

Cheryl Evangelista had no idea that she would return from her vacation in Maine to the scare of a lifetime last week. Her beloved 13-year-old dog, Bogart, was missing.

Her husband was on pet duty, taking care of three dogs, two bunnies and eight chickens, when Bogart decided to slip out the unlocked back door. While Bogart enjoyed a leisurely evening walk through his neighborhood on Silvermine Road, Evangelistas husband spent half of the night searching the neighborhood with a flashlight, calling Bogarts name.

Meanwhile, neighbor Glenn Charette found Bogart on Silvermine Road and posted his picture onto the Tri-Town Transcripts Facebook page in hopes of locating his owner. Charette indicated on the status thread underneath the photo that he found Bogart wandering around in circles, not responding to sound at around 11 p.m. on Saturday.

Bogart was also wandering in and out of the street, which concerned Charette because coyotes could have been out. Charette brought Bogart into his home and notified animal control and local police that he had the dog. From there he posted to Facebook, getting a whopping number of responses. With Bogart wearing only one illegible tag and most veterinarians offices closed through the weekend, Charette waited for someone to claim the lost dog.

Neighbor Leslie Peterson recognized Bogart at 11:36 a.m. on Sunday and called Evangelista right away, according to her Facebook post. In less than a day, Bogart returned home safe and sound.

I have four sons who have grown up with Bogart and would have been devastated if we lost him this way, said Evangelista. The Evangelista family is so happy to have gotten their family member home, and thankful for such great neighbors.

Missing dog located through social networking

In today's technologically savvy age, much of our affairs are handled online. Social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter have taken the Internet by storm. These sites make it easier to connect with friends, family and colleagues, but there is a dark side to social networking that needs to be taken into consideration. Facebook and Twitter can act as a mouthpiece and, depending on how long your friend list is or how many followers you have, you could be speaking to a very large audience. While many people use social networking casually, it is important to take care with what you post on Facebook and other social networking websites, as it can adversely affect your employment status. Here is a look at some social media practices that can get you into hot water at work.

Inappropriate PhotographsYou may want to scrutinize any photographs you post to a social networking site before presenting them to the public. Racy or inappropriate photographs could cost you the job that you are applying for if the hiring manager views your social networking activity. The practice of employers checking potential employee's Facebook page for inappropriate photographs has come under major scrutiny. Employers scrutinize photographs on social networking websites because it can give them a glimpse into potential job candidates that they wouldn't see otherwise. A candidate with an unsavory social networking presence is considered a major turn-off to hiring managers.

Sharing Protected InformationOne of the easiest ways to get into trouble at work due to your social networking activity is to share protected employer information with your list of friends or followers. Many people use social networking sites to vent, which often includes spouting off frustrations about their jobs. Unfortunately, if your complaint exposes protected company information, you can easily lose your job.

Inflammatory Social Networking PostsInflammatory posts on social networking sites that target your company, co-workers or your boss can be highly detrimental to your employment status. Slate.com recently released an article that highlights cases where employees were fired for criticizing a co-worker on a social networking website. In some cases, employers discovered the information on their own. In other cases, fellow co-workers brought the issue to the attention of a supervisor. This practice is called infringement against employee harassment regulations, and it can most certainly cost you your job.

The First Amendment Won't Save YouWhile the first amendment of the United States Bill of Rights prevents government officials and agencies from stripping you of your right to free speech, it does not apply to private employers. Unfortunately, the things you say on social networking websites can actually be detrimental to your job if you speak of your employer in an bad light, break privacy rules or even if you offend another co-worker with a derogatory post.

The Bottom Line Although social networking is supposed to be fun, we live in an age where we have to be conscientious of what we say at all times. This is especially true if you are friends with work colleagues on social networking websites. Although you are cordial or friendly with these individuals at work, it doesn't mean that he or she wouldn't report you to a member of upper management should one of your posts offend him or her. When it comes to job security, it is wise to consider keeping complaints about your job, company or co-workers offline and out of a public forum.
