</div> What is Ning?tag:schoolleadership20.com,2008-03-05:1990010:Topic:10672008-03-05T03:38:00.345ZClifford Steinberghttps://schoolleadership20.com/profile/CliffordSteinberg
So... here we are in a new information environment. I thought it would be appropriate, and relevant to much of the discussion that I see thus far, to point out that this is a Social Network. Yes, that is right, a Social Network just like Myspace, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.<br />
<br />
I hope that many of the folks that have, to this point, steered away from Social Networks will quickly realize the value of this sharing environment. As the professional network evolves, I would encourage you to think about…

<br />
Ning networks can be created as "closed" environments where only those that are invited are permitted to view and access the site. Once you create an account, all you need to do is send the Ning folks an email and tell them you are using the service for education. This will remove the ads from the site/network you create.<br />
<br />
Think about how students engage themselves in Myspace and other forms of electronic networking and what a classroom electronic network like this could look like. I believe this can be a very powerful instructional tool.<br />
<br />
Also, take note of the Clustrmap to the right of this page. It clearly demonstrates how the reach of these environments flattens in the information landscape and what possibilities that brings.<br />
<br />
Can you see using Ning in your school(s)? What do you see as potential? What do you see as obstacles?<br />
