No RSVP required

Setting up a social network is kind of like preparing for a party. What should the theme be? Who to invite?

There is a lot of planning involved, but I also need to leave some room for spontaneity. What can I add to make sure everyone has a good time and wants to come back? Some new widgets and games to loosen things up, but also some familiar recipes so everyone can keep one foot in their comfort zone.

My new social network was designed for future educators. But everybody is invited. If you know any teachers-to-be who might like to join, please send them a link. Also, if you're a current teacher or teacher of teachers, please drop by and share from your experiences.

Dress casual.
