Thing #22, Ning

All about Nings... No, not really. This is what I understood from looking at all the Nings listed for thing 22. It's another social network that allows you to have different groups within the ning so you can discuss different things within that subject: For example, Social Studies. Then, you might have World Geography, World History, U.S. History, Government/Politics, etc... Right?? That's what I think it is. I think Nings are excellent for college and professors. In the article that I read, "7 things about nings," the author makes a good point about professors creating a sense of community in their class, group, cohort, etc... And we all know that anytime a teacher creates that in their classroom or for their students (if in college), the students are going to be more receptive and motivated to learn and participate.

And then there was one...
Thing #23 is next!
