[LM_NET] Target: Safe Social Networking Site or Service?

["Wee, David" <dwee@HW.COM>]

Hello,
 
I have a team of 7th grade Civics teachers that would like to have students do some 
old fashioned research on the "Founding Fathers (and Mothers)", but would like to 
have students create something similar to a MySpace page for their assigned 
Founder.  Which founders would link to Thomas Jefferson?  John Jay?
 
Target:  Anyone know of a "safe" social networking site (or software that we could 
run on our Intranet) that we could have students use, but keep closed to people 
outside of the class?
 
Thanks!
 
dave
