Dweeber.com- Brandy Brinson



Dweeber.com is a social networking site developed by smartwired, a group that dedicates themselves to helping young people see their own strengths and talents. The site was creates in 2007 and uses social networking to allow students to learn, study, and do homework; instead of letting social networking get in the way. The made sure that their website appealed to students and would provide them with the tools they need to learn. They have 5 principles:
  • Everyone has their own unique brilliance.
  • Think of differences as resources rather than disorders
  • Track assets rather than deficits
  • Think of mistakes as experiments rather than failures.
  • Everyone has an inner Dweeb, a geek part of us that is passionate about something important.
This site could be used as an educational tool by educators to help students or have other students help students learn.
