The document discusses the potential for a single web-based tool to help college students with comfort, connection, and contribution. It could help students find people similar to them, create and join groups, and contribute to the college community. A 2008 pilot at one school showed that students were comfortable connecting their Facebook profiles and tagging themselves with interests. It suggests schools should teach students to create positive digital identities by using tags, blogs, and becoming mentors. This could help with student orientation, first-year experience classes, and advising by helping students connect and participate in the community.
