Technology Evaluation of Social Networking Platforms
In evaluating whether or not the online high school that has the advanced technologies for enabling greater student collaboration, support for student outcomes, and enabling greater levels of communication across our student and instructor populations, the following analysis has been completed. The need for social networking solution that can align thoroughly and quickly with the culture of a given organization is key to its adoption and ability to deliver value on a consistent basis (Bennett, 2008). While the high school has exceptional technology, it will be prudent to consider hwo effectively their technologies can be used to supplant and strengthen our learning objectives. This alignment of technology to our strategic plans needs to be the watermark by which it is judged.

The greatest measure of any technology in a firm is its ability to create transformation change in processes, procedures and programs, assuring the organization is improved as a result of the investment (Kaye, Dyason, 1999).
In the case of evaluating the small online high school's social networking platform the long-term costs of maintenance, the critical need for gaining access to source code and ideally getting the programmers on staff, and also getting the system aligned to our specific learning objectives all must be considered.

The costs associated with each option and the relative benefits need to be taken into account, with the costs of integration being the most significant from externally-based systems and the purchase of the line high school. Across all three options, the greatest long-term cost and risk is building it internally, as the code will have to be kept up-to-date and a continual support from staff required to ensure the system operates optimally.
In evaluating the potential of using internally implemented technologies, the greatest potential costs are keeping the legacy systems up and running when programmers pursue new opportunities, the costs of ongoing integration and support across all other systems, and the costs associated
