Internet2 K20 announced a new social networking site called Muse (http://k20.internet2.edu/) which promotes collaboration, information-sharing and technology opportunities for over 50,000 schools. The schools include K-12 schools, community colleges, libraries and museums in 38 US states. This is growing daily.
Muse is a social utility that connects you with Internet2 enabled technologies and educators in your neighborhood and around the globe. Muse will show you how next generation Internet applications are being used everyday to inspire educational excellence.
The national initiative brings together Internet2 member institutions and innovators from primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, libraries and museums to extend new technologies, applications, middleware, and content to all educational sectors, as quickly and connectedly as possible.
Some the most popular categories are video conferencing, collaboration, podcasting, distance learning, social networking, blogging and technology integration.
Within the short time since launching, the new site has already experienced significant uptake within the community. Currently, there are 798 people from 627 organizations enjoying the muse community.
