23. Our experiences
• Social work + youngsters + ict = match
• But
– Hits and misses
– Need for sharing best and bad practices and analysing
them in a structured way
– Youngsters will tell you what to do

– Need for better social software tools
– Need for better measurement tools
– Privacy and ethical issues cry out for modernised
