Researchers at the University of Minnesota have released a study that says social networks like MySpace and Facebook offer educational benefits.The study found that low-income students are just as technologically savvy as their peers, going against what previous research has indicated.The majority (94%) of students use the Internet, 82 percent go online at home and 77 percent have a profile on a social networking site. As for the educational benefits, the students listed technology skills first, followed by creativity and being open to new views and communication skills.
