With the Noi Media work groups, we are about to do 3 workshops about online collaboration tools with teachers at vocational schools (grades 9-12). And the possibility for them to create ad-free Ning networks for their classes is great.; ▶ Reply to This

And let's give credit where it is due: to Gina and Athena at Ning, and to Julie Lindsay and Vicki Davis from the Flat Classrooms project, where cultural taboos really brought the discussion home.

So have fun and keep experimenting with Ning!; ▶ Reply to This
