Ning in Education

Using Ning for Educational Social Networks

Welcome

Welcome to the social network for those using the Ning social networking platform in education. (General discussions of Web 2.0 in the classroom are better directed to Classroom 2.0.)

Please introduce yourself in the "Introductions" forum post. And if you're currently running a Ning network for education, please list it here.

Ning is sponsoring this network to provide support and help to educators, and to get feedback from the educational community to continue to improve Ning.

The RSS feed for all forum discussions and replies is here.
