Hi Allison,
Elgg is open source and thus free. It has a reasonable following in HE and
the corporate world. It provides social networking inside the walled garden.
I've used it successfully with Y6 pupils back in my teaching daze. See
elgg.org for more. http://eduspaces.net/ provide free hosted elgg accounts
and communities if you'd like to try before you, erm, buy.
My old case study on how we used this was in Terry Freedman's Coming of Age;
there's a copy at
http://eduspaces.net/mberry/files/-1/3567/primary_blogging.pdf
Best wishes,
Miles.
