Thing #22

I am not super-big on listservs. Although they can be very helpful and informative (and sometimes racy and controversial), I think that often times, they are mostly overwhelming...which brings me to Nings. I never really knew anything about Nings, but I certainly like the idea about a social networking space with a focus. I really liked the Teacher Librarian Ning and the group that focused on YA literature in middle schools. It had some great threads going, as well as some specific discussions that were pertinent to my needs. I certainly can see myself using this in the future. I will also show this tool to my teachers, assuming it is not filtered in my district.
