THING 22: Let’s Get Social
I spent a decent amount of time surfing around the Classroom 2.0 and Ning sites and found some interesting things. I think it’s great that there is a forum where teachers can go and get new ideas, see what others are doing, or simply vent about what is going on. I found a few pretty cool forums and groups for middle school, and I even looked for information/groups for coaching ideas, but I sort of struck out there. I wonder if there are any of those out there…? But that’s a different blog post.
As much, however, as I think these sites are helpful and informative, I didn’t sign up for an account. I can see myself going occasionally, reading the posts and questions and answers, but it’s not something I see myself doing. It’s partially a time issue - and that’s lower on the list of my priorities. But it’s also that it’s not really my thing. It may be a comfort-level thing (or lack thereof!). I will stay open to it, and I’m glad I know about it.

I agree with you that I’m glad to know more about Ning and Classroom 2.0 but wouldn’t use either right now on a regular basis.
