Thing #22

For this "Thing" I looked at all the Nings that Library2Play had posted. I felt like they could all be very useful, but I think my favorite was Ning for Teachers. What I particularly liked about Ning for Teachers were the lesson plans and ideas for the classroom that were shared on the Ning. I love the idea of having a place to go specifically for elementary teaching resources. The Nings are great because it seems to be an extension of a blog. It puts your blog in a space with messaging forums, other similar blogs, and resources. I will definitely use Ning for Teachers this year as I search out lesson plans and ideas for my classroom. There is always so much to learn from others, especially for the classroom, and I'm excited to have a great resource. I also liked that there were featured lessons and popular topics which seemed very pertinent and interesting.
