SocialGO Brings Social Networking Sites To People Of All Ages

    LONDON, ENGLAND, May 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Often when we think of social networking, we think of chatting to friends and family, and fooling around in social games that take up so much of our time. SocialGO doesn't believe that social networks should be solely limited to leisure activities, in fact the ability of social media networks to connect people across countries, cultures and social divides means that is only the beginning.

That ability to connect people can have major impacts on how education can be accessed by people around the world. Connecting pupils to each other and to teachers through social media networks can encourage discussion outside of the classroom about subjects. This debate can encourage independent thinking, encouraging students to derive insight from what they're learning rather than simply learning by rote. Using social media and a social platform for discussion and interaction can also increase awareness as people, particularly young people, may find it more engaging than some traditional means.

Social networks can also help connect parents of learners or adult learners who benefit from support from other people in similar circumstances. With the uptake of social media usage across age brackets, social networking sites might provide a useful bridge between parents, children and teachers. SocialGO is already working in the field of education websites by helping to encourage creativity in learners and children by connecting parents and helping them celebrate their children's creativity. This can help to encourage artistic and creative endeavours that those children undertake, helping to increase their faith in their own abilities.

Increasing a child's confidence in their abilities can only benefit the child and their parents by demonstrating that their effort is producing something that they can be proud of. This is equally applicable to creative endeavours as well as everyday activities such as homework and essays. Every piece of encouragement and communication that a child gets can help them grow and develop into a productive adult. Any adult who is learning can gain just as much benefit from encouragement and discussion on a social network set up to support them and people in similar situations.
