Social networking at your fingertips! This site allows you to set up, create, and personalize your OWN social network. It's yours. Your brand and visual design. Your choice of public or private. Your very own members. Everything is created by YOU for YOU! Imagine the possibilities with Ning in Education!

I wondered what Ning was! Thanks!

Create and discover social networks for your interests. Connect with people that have the same ideas, beliefs, concerns etc. Create a page that centers around you. This could be used in education to connect to your students and incorporate technology into the classroom. This site could be used in multiple ways within your classroom and district. This would be a great way to connect with your students. I believe that allowing your students to chat on a site like Ning would make them more likely to participate in classroom discussion. Sites like these are the things that our students do everyday.

This site would be a great tool to use in the classroom (or in a library). A "wallwisher" wall allows everyone to communicate on a "wall" answering a question you have posed. Using sticky notes, those in the class answer on the virtual/visual wall. The wall I built asked the question, "what are you reading and what do you like about it so far?" Students can answer with both words and images. Therefore, it is my hope students will upload a picture of the book cover and give a quick review of the book based on what they have read so far. You can design the color/design of the wall. I found this tool to be lots of fun and it could be used in many ways in a classroom or library. Wallwisher could definitely be used to inspire collaboration and communication.

This is an online notice board maker where you can post announcements, greetings, jokes; just about anything you would want to put on a Post It. I think this would be a great tool for students to use in a note taking assignment. This would be fun to collaborate multiple students' posts and try to combine them randomly to create a funny poem or short story.
