This document discusses building social capital through social networking. It begins with defining social capital as the value of social relationships and networks. These networks provide benefits such as job opportunities and access to resources. The document then examines the importance of social capital for college and career transitions, communicating with family, and creating personal learning networks. It explores integrating technology through considering audience needs, objectives, strategies, and appropriate tools. Finally, it reviews several social networking tools - LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, and Twitter - and how to use them to build social capital.
