Social Networking (Thing #22)

I found Classroom 2.0 much easier to use than Ning Education. Both websites had so much information that it was difficult for me to even begin to know where to go, but I had a bit more luck with Classroom2.0 . I found a nifty thread on Classroom with some Kindergarten teachers and how they are using Web 2.0. I posted it to my del.icio.us page so that I can go back and refer to it. Ning Education was just way too busy for me and it was really wordy and I could not find anything useful for me. That is not to say that there is not anything useful, it was just a difficult site for me to navigate. Regular old Ning was much more user friendly and fun. I typed in several search terms and it was fun to see the groups that were already formed. The funny part was when I clicked to check out the groups, many of them only had 1 member!!! Social networking is one of those things that you could literally spend hours at a time exploring. And I will, once I have more time………
