Thing #22

I read the article and looked at all the Nings that were listed. When I read the article about Nings, it said that the educational benefit would be that students could have a MySpace or Facebook type experience, but without feeling like teachers are infringing on their territory. I was hesitant, at first, to find out more about Nings because I thought they would be just like blogs, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this might work better than a traditional blog. I started an Ning for my class, and it seems like it will work really well. I have more thinking to do about it, and I'm going to talk to a colleague about it, as well, but this could turn into something very exciting for next year!
