I had a question about using the WIKIS to enter in students with usernames/passwords instead of using email addresses. Could you post some instructions on how I would go about doing that. I am new to this NING network and am looking to gettting it u…
I really like Nings, but have more than 90 students, and found the whole gmail workaround to be incredibly time-consuming to get around the email issue. Have also tried using one edublog with students commenting, but, again, setting it up was comple…
I am using it for 6th-8th grade science. Not all students are on yet but they like the photos and videos I post. It is an invite only network so I can control it better. I have not really had a lot of discussions going on yet but I plan to do some s…
Last year I had kids create gmail accounts for this. This year my school is giving each student a gaggle account so that we can assure safety.
Ning is so much easier to run than elgg.
I used pbwiki for my 8th grade team when we did our primary source research projects; it's an integrated project with the social studies teacher on my team. It was my first attempt at a totally paperless research project. I don't ever want to go bac…
Hi Shirley,
Thanks for posting to my inquiry. I've emailed my LA colleagues regarding your interest. Our vision was to have your students and teachers you work with join our NING for the school year. As far as starting small with only one class per…

- Hi,
My colleagues and I at the Center for Science Education (http://cse.edc.org/) are looking for expert science teachers who are committed to integrating 21st century skills into their instruction.
I am contacting you to see if you would consider collaborating with us on a new and exciting project- Designing Professional Development to Infuse Science Instruction with 21st Century Skills. Your perspective and experience will provide valuable input to shape the design and delivery of the PD. Participation will be appropriately rewarded.
We are primarily looking for high-school biology teachers in the New-England area, but we would be happy to collaborate with teachers from other states or science disciplines.
Please email me at tkarelitz@edc.org If you are interested in learning more about the project, our expectations from collaborators and the compensation involved.
All the best,
Tzur

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this virtual ning network is no exception. My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering (in Needham, MA). I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you worked at a middle school, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Marco Morales
