Ning - Create your own Social Networks! via kwout




I learned about a Ning dedicated to Moodlers from Gates' Computer Tips blog.  If you have never heard of Ning, it is a social networking site that can be used for educational purposes.  I am a member of several Nings:  MACUL, Classroom 2.0, School 2.0, VidSnacks, OpenEducation, and the One-to-One Institute.  Nings can be public and private.  Of the ones I am subscribed to, all but one are public, as they are designed to share and collaborate with others from around the world.  The private Ning is used to work and create professional development materials for a large project that will be marketed around the world.  A private Ning could be created by any teacher to allow students the opportunity to use social networking as part of thelearning process in a safe way.

  2. Thanks for the "head up" on Ning, I will definitely look at this site. Have any of you hear dof Yuwie it is a social network site that pays you to blog, upload pictures, refer friends, chat, hang out, etc. http://ww2.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=7372&vid= .
    There seem to be a lot of new social network sites out there now. You can even create your own branded social network, something I will consider for the future.
