Social networks on Ning can feature discussion forums, blogs, photo and video sharing, widgets from other websites (small representations of applications that you put on a webpage for specific information or functionality, similar to apps for smartphones) such as Google and Twitter, and an RSS reader to share blog feeds from outside of Ning (such as your Edublog feed).
- Visit the Connected Educator Book Club Ning and click “sign up” on the right side of the screen. Follow the signup process. Fill out your profile on the site (add your photo and some personal details).
- Take a look around the community and see what sparks your interest. Maybe there’s a book group you’d like to join, or a discussion to comment on.
- Find a link, a discussion, or a topic that interests you, and write a post about it on your blog.
- Check out Edmodo. Edmodo provides teachers and students a secure place to connect and collaborate, share content and educational appli- cations, and access homework, grades, class discussions and notifica- tions. Edmodo connects more than 8,000,000 teachers and students in secure social networks.
- Edweb is a professional social network for the education community. It allows you to connect with colleagues, create learning communities, share and collaborate, and mentor new teachers. Check it out.
- Check out the brand new social networking site called edConnectr. Go to edConnectr, then tell us about yourself, your interests, and what you’d like to learn about. edConnectr will find other educators who can teach you things relevant to your interests, or who could learn from you. From there, connect and collaborate.
