The “education lite” map “The Networked Teacher” by courosa has been in circulation around the net (I wish he had added students as a category) but I gravitate to the in-depth information provided by the Mindjet Blog: Mindjet: Mapping your social networks for maximum productivity online.

Also note: Brian Solis Online – Social Map on Flick:

Brian’s “Social Graph Central” pointed me to Loic LeMeur’s video on YouTube. It is dated April 1, 2008 so there will be additional services that have come on the scene since then, but it is still a very good introduction to creating a map of your social network as a personal learning (and sharing) environment.
