Thing #22: Nings

I heard my librarian mention this term, but I wasn't sure what it meant or what it did. Now, I see that it is another social website like MySpace and Facebook. I must admit, I do not have either one of these accounts, but it looks like everyone in the world has some type of site. I checked out the suggested Nings, and I really liked the "Ning for Teachers." The format was easy to read, and there was a personal invite for guests. One of the appealing areas was the Lesson Plan area. When I clicked here, I viewed lesson plans for various disciplines. It seems like I need to go ahead and become a part of a social network.
