Rumor has it that Pearson Learning is the business that is going to sponsor the Ning ed. groups that have memberships of 150 or less. I have a few groups in place for my school- one for each of our School Improvement Plan Action Teams, all of which…

Early word from Ning in their announcements was that you could pay for longer periods of time, but still only by credit card (PayPal?). I did tell them about the need for purchase orders, but I don't have any idea how much of a priority this is…

Please add my thanks to the long list! Your work with creating this PLN has been inspirational. Let's hope the free for education donor comes through.

Free Ning Accounts for Educators
by noreply@blogger.com (Mr. Byrne)
Ning caused quite a commotion last month when they announced that they were planning to discontinue their free services this summer. Today, Ning…

The migration process is simple. Still too soon for me to comment on comparisons with Ning.
I don't believe there is any limit on the number of sites you can create. Why don't you give the CEO, Mark Robins, a phone call. He is very…

This looks very promising. I'm intrigued and would be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on Grouply as it compares to Ning. Also, do you know if there is a limit to how many sites we can create?
Beverley Lee replied to Joan Pearson's discussion 'No more free Ning!!!'
Well said - nearly all of this applies as I contemplate how to approach discussing future use of ning vs other options in my educational setting.
Tim Musgrave replied to Joan Pearson's discussion 'No more free Ning!!!'
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned advertising... I assume that (oh, I'm very new to Ning btw - so sorry if this off track)... I assume that Ning was making money originally through advertising? The more hits a site got, the more…

No More Free Ning?

Well put, Dawn.
Dawn Jacobson replied to Joan Pearson's discussion 'No more free Ning!!!'
I have concerns with Ning's "free to K-12 educators" offer, and I have notified Ning of my concerns: my post to them is 5th comment under the pricing announcement on their blog. As I stated, I am very concerned that the 150-member…
sonya replied to Joan Pearson's discussion 'No more free Ning!!!'
I'm disappointed, even with the free Ning mini for educators. Without groups and some of the other features, the Ning mini is useless. It's basically just a blog/wiki which I can create for free any place else. I am also concerned that…

Ning Planning to Remain Free for Teachers! In another Ning someone forwarded this article from the NY Times.

I have blogged on my analysis today: http://www.stevehargadon.com/2010/05/new-ning-plans-good-bad-and-unknown.html.
The comments here, and on my blog post, are good additional insight. Thanks.
Ellen Pham replied to Joan Pearson's discussion 'No more free Ning!!!'
The sponsored free ning network will look and act quite differently from the free network we get now- no video uploads (videos can be embedded from a different source, such as youtube or teachertube), no groups, no audio file uploads, and a limit of…

- Hi, what technology do you use when the students come into your classroom? Have you come across certian ones you dont like or like a lot? What is your favorite. I am trying to learn about all the new technologies that are being used today in the classroom so i can be knowledgeable when i begin to teach. Thanks
