The Ning was created as a walled garden where students can practice
their online skills in a supportive environment. The skills we are
teaching have to do withinternet safety, cyber citizenship, appropriate
use of content, specifically looking at Creative Commons and how to
find music, images and video that is available for shared use. The
language arts teachers use the site for writing prompts and soon will
open it as a forum for discussing a grade level novel. The clever name
of theNing is grade8ourspace .
