Why do students build a profile?
• Virtual communities such as…social networks allowed users to maintain individual identity while belonging to a community (Rheingold, 2000)
• Through their profiles, students are able to establish identities in Facebook – Interpersonal skills move towards the virtual,
versus “real” or face-to-face– The resulting relationships can be based on fact
or fiction

Benefits of Facebook
• Identity Development– Virtual communities offer users the
opportunity to interact in a variety of ways, including play (Rheingold, 2000)

kinds of relationships in our real lives, we are likely to develop different kinds of relationships online as well” (Wood & Smith, 2001)
