Ning

Where is the time flying-- we are already closer to the end of January than the beginning and we just returned to school! The EHS Freshman English teachers with the EHS librarians are exploring ways to bring life back into the research process. Shortly, the freshmen will be introduced to an i-search paper by way of a Ning. Other forms were considered, like using a wiki or a Blog, in the end a Ning was chosen to be the test pilot. A Ning has the same feel and parts as Facebook-- but with more controls by the administrator (me) -- The company that runs the Ning also removed all advertising banners because this would be for a class. I'm sure we'll learn as we go and will occasionally report on the progress.
