"Your payment to Ning was declined - First Notice : My point is it will always decline * Posted by Badan Barman on August 23, 2010 at 1:02am in Plans and Pricing * View Discussions Just one minute before, I received this message. Its frustrating. If not hundred, I request several time to Ning to come forward to make the payment successfully. I open help ticket, I post in forum, (CHARGE MY VISA CARD FOR THE IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, I Need Personal Assistant from Ning to Make the Payment Successfully) I personally wrote to Ning employee through email (Eric Suesz), i post as scrap. Still why you are charging my card after 23 hours of validity. You will absolutely get nothing after 23 hours from my card. Hey Ning can you please let me know exactly at what time of tomorrow you will again charge my card.So that I can enter the details of a fresh card just before you charge the card for payment?"

"At my place of employment Diigo is blocked through our server under the social network category. I have administrator rights and can override the block for a set time period, eg 30 minutes. Diigo opens and I am able to surf from my bookmarks satisfactorily. However, there is no way I can add new bookmarks to my Diigo account, using a "Post To Diigo" bookmark in Internet Explorer, or the "Add+" button at the top of "My Items" in "my library" view. Somewhere, somehow our server is preventing this to happen. Needless to say I am disappointed. The work around is to email my new urls to my home address and then ad them to Diigo once I return home."

"Hi, Today we made some changes at Ning. I want to share with you the email Jason Rosenthal, our CEO, sent to all Ning employees: Team, When I became CEO 30 days ago, I told you I would take a hard look at our business. This process has brought real clarity to what's working, what's not, and what we need to do now to make Ning a big success. My main conclusion is that we need to double down on our premium services business. Our Premium Ning Networks like Friends or Enemies, Linkin Park, Shred or Die, Pickens Plan, and tens of thousands of others both drive 75% of our monthly US traffic, and those Network Creators need and will pay for many more services and features from us. So, we are going to change our strategy to devote 100% of our resources to building the winning product to capture this big opportunity. We will phase out our free service. Existing free networks will have the opportunity to either convert to paying for premium services, or transition off of Ning. We will judge ourselves by our ability to enable and power Premium Ning Networks at huge scale. And all of our product development capability will be devoted to making paying Network Creators extremely happy. As a consequence of this change, I have also made the very tough decision to reduce the size of our team from 167 people to 98 people. As hard as this is to do, I am confident that this is the right decision for our company, our business, and our customers. Marc and I will work diligently with everyone affected by this to help them find great opportunities at other companies. I've never seen a more talented and devoted team, and it has been my privilege to get to know and work with each and every one of you over the last 18 months. We'll use today to say goodbye to our friends and teammates who will be leaving the company. Tomorrow, I will take you through, in detail, our plans for the next three months and our new focus. Thanks, Jason Rosenthal I know many of you will have que

"One month after long-time Ning CEO Gina Bianchini was replaced by COO Jason Rosenthal, the company is making some major changes: It has just announced that it is killing off its free product, forcing existing free networks to either make the change to premium accounts or migrate their networks elsewhere. Rosenthal has also just announced that the company has cut nearly 70 people - over 40% of its staff. Here's the email Rosenthal just sent out to the company:"

"Livemocha is a social network service that supports language learning through audio-visual lessons and peer tutoring tools. Launched in September 2007, the platform has over 5 million registered members from over 200 countries. Lessons are provided for 36 different languages. While the standard lessons are freely accessible for registered users, the platform also offers "premium content" for a fee. Livemocha is more than just "Rosetta Stone on the Web." A unique selling point of the educational Web community is its collaborative approach to language learning: Members of the Livemocha community do not only learn a foreign language, they also tutor other community members in their native language. Users are encouraged to form learning tandems and offer feedback on their partner's speaking or writing exercises. The Livemocha platform supports this peer learning practice through comment features, voice recording and social awareness tools. For ETC Journal, I interviewed Clint Schmidt, Livemocha's Vice President of Marketing and Products. Clint has an impressive success record of developing marketing and product functions for a variety of high-growth Internet companies, including Half.com, eBay and ZoomIn.com, India's leading photo sharing and printing site. Clint holds a BSE in Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania."

"You are strongly encouraged to speak your mind! I sure will! This Network is very young, in fact in its infancy. We do have great plans though, and we're progressing little step by little step in finding out how to implement the things we want, need and/or like in the best and most effective way. If you have comments or ideas about this, please don't hesiste to tell us on our forum!"

"Gina Bianchini is the co-founder and CEO of Ning, the "do-it-yourself" social networking site. Gina is no ivory-tower entrepreneur--she is an active participant herself in several Ning networks, and she demonstrates her passion (and her hands-on style) in this fun interview. We talk about the original vision for Ning, some of the ways that Ning is being used by different groups, and what features are coming down the road. It's the future features Gina describes that will get current Ning users excited. The power and scope of Ning is truly amazing. Let's just say that I got off the call and immediately created a group for my kids drama troupe, and thought of several others."

Intervista del 2007 - cioè quando Ning si spacciava per rete di reti con particolare impegno per l'educazione.

Questo studio sul Cooperative Learning analizza con grande attenzione l'interazione dei componenti del gruppo e propone suggerimenti molto pratici per migliorare le competenze sociali e facilitare così il successo.

grazie, molto interessante. è un documento protetto da copyright o si può diffondere liberamente (blog, sito etc.)? mi interesso molto anche di 'cooperative teaching' per così dire, che è secondo me il punto dolente, in realtà, della nostra scuola, ancor più dell'apprendimento cooperativo, e SEL Social Emotional Learning che mi piace molto come approccio didattico e sopratutto gestionale

Non so se si tratti di un documento "libero": l'ho trovato per caso, come spesso succede. D'accordo sul "punto dolente della nostra scuola". Un Consiglio di Classe collaborativo fa veramente tutta la differenza fra una classe e l'altra. Bene la cooperazione in rete, ma si deve tradurre in pratica in classe. Personalmente non uso il cooperative learning, perché nella sua procedura classica richiede tempi distesi - un lusso di cui la riforma Gelmini mi ha privata. Meglio le Webquest, che richiedono ricerche fattibili anche da casa. Questo "Bignami", tuttavia, contiene molte osservazioni interessanti sulle dinamiche di gruppo e su come stimolare e guidare le abilità sociali. Prezioso!
