Hmmm....It took me a long time to do myspace and even longer to hop into facebook. Sometimes I feel like I have far too many social networking things going on already. I find nings interesting, but I don't see the application for my classroom. We already have wikis and about a million other ways to communicate with our students. These kids are thoroughly entrenched in facebook and myspace and I do not see them reaching out for another kind of social networking site. I don't think that I would use this in my room.
With Nings now "costing" I wonder if it will hurt the proliferation of if...
True, they just started charging for nings and I do think that will affect their use. We do have other tools that will allow for professional learning networks and communication with our students, parents and staff.
