Thing #19: Beyond Facebook: Other Social Networks

Write a blog post discussing the following:
•Are you a member of any online communities?
•Are any of these social networks appealing to you?
•What did you find that was interesting and that you might use later?


Visit TeacherPop


I have used Ning.com before for one of my previous classes. I find it very useful if you plan to use it often. This is a place that students have to request to join. The teacher accepts. From here students and teachers can post about their classroom, their assignments, and their homework. I think if a teacher plans to frequently use this site, students will check it often and it will be a success. Its a lot more private and safer for students than Facebook or Twitter.

Using Ning is definitely a site I could see myself using in a high school class or for parents of younger students who want to keep up with the happenings of the class.
