Thing # 22: Nings

In checking out the Teacher Librarian Ning, I came upon the Missouri teacher of the year who had some terrific ideas using podcasts, it was incredible, you should check it out, http://www.speakingofhistory.blogspot.com/, it also brought out all of the "things" we are discussing here and how we need to change our way of thinking in education as far as delivery of information.

The Teacher Ning has a lesson plan site but few lessons were there, and nothing for science. But I can see its usefullness as a site to vent and pick up new techniques. Being new to blogging, I am not sure of using a Ning over any other blog site. I guess it narrows down replies to your blog, and you might find your have more in common with those responding to your blog and will then have more frequent discussions with the same people, and even become friends.
