Using Ning for Educational Social Networks
Blocking Access to Ning.com
As I posted yesterday, we have created a private Ning network for our 7th grade students. We discovered today, that when you click on the Ning icon (upper left corner), it takes you to the general Ning.com site. Does this mean when we join a private Ning network, you are also joining a larger, public Ning network? Is it possible to join a private Ning network without joining the public Ning.com? Some teachers are concerned about privacy issues. We also wouldn't our students to be a on general Ning.com network, only on our own Ning network.
Many thanks in advance!

I have never had a problem with privacy issues. This is my second year using the ning in my classroom. It has never been an issue.

Thanks, Beth. We just realized Ning's terms of service states one needs to be 13 years or older. So, we won't be able to use it with our 7th graders after all.
