Teacher

Ning Networks:

I am a member of several Nings focusing on education. They have been an invaluable tool for professional development and making connections.

The charter school at which I teach works with independent study and homeschooling students in our district. I created and have been customizing a Ning for the homeschooling parent educators. It is set to launch on May 18th, when 45 teachers and 800+ parent educators will be invited to join. I'm a bit nervous, but very excited at the benefits for parents to feel connected.

I chose to start the social network with the parents first. I hope to launch a network for the 7th-12th graders next fall. This is still in the early planning stages.

I think a Ning would be the perfect addition to a Web2.0 Self-Discovery Project I am working on for Homeschool families. I am working on the wiki portion but haven't had time to develop the Ning just yet. So many ideas, so little time. :-)

I'm looking forward to sharing ideas and learning with you.
