Chris the Teacher: Social Networking: Do You Know What Your Kids are Doing Right Now?
Nings seem to be one way to go in our classes. One of the best things I’ve learned in the past two weeks (courtesy of Traci Gardner) is that Ning networks can be made private and available only to invited members (http://ncteinbox.blogspot.com/2008/09/social-networking-ning-thing.html). I haven’t had enough experience with Nings to give examples, but I recently joined one and will see what could be done.

And if I understand Facebook as well as I do Nings, then probably almost any use a teacher might design for Facebook could be done just as well with a Ning.

ISB Teachers Take on Tech « Toga Learning
Faced with stacks of journal folders to assess, IB Theater teacher Tom Rosevear wanted a way to have his students connect with him and each other more regularly. He also wanted to be able to easily share links and media with students and give them way to add creative content to the course. Tom decided to create a social network for his class using the Ning platform, and it has been very successful so far. “I can now read students’ responses as soon as they’re posted on the Ning and respond to it. Others respond, too, and the learning act is thus much more ‘in the moment’.” The network makes different kinds of communication a snap. With built-in email, forum discussion, and blogs, one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many communications are possible not to mention communication through the video and photo posts. Another advantage is that the learning isn’t confined to the four walls of the classroom, as Rosevear explains “we also have invited ‘experts’ to join our Ning. Megan Campisi, a professional actor/writer based in New York City is a member and we hope to enlarge this network of ‘primary sources’.”
