resource for independent school educators.
It is a social networking site (yes, something like Facebook, but just for
us) using a service called Ning.
The site could become a resource as useful, in its own way, as the ISED
listserve. However, to do so it needs to have a critical mass of
independent school educators join and participate.
Please consider giving it a try. It takes only a few minutes to create an
account. If you don't like the site you can delete your account at any
time. This is a really safe and easy way to give social networking a try,
and in the process help develop a great new resource for all of us.
The url to get started is: http://ISEnet.ning.com/
Thanks for considering,
Fred

Dimitri's original announcement message follows.
Dear ISED Colleagues,
A few of us have been experimenting with a ning (social networking) site
for Independent School Educators (the Classroom 2.0 site inspired its
creation)... It's at http://ISEnet.ning.com/ and is open to anyone. It
has the typical SNS features: profile pages, "friend" connections,
discussion forums, video upload, podcast upload, groups, tags, etc.
Participating is a great way to understand the power of social
networking sites, and share in this rich media transliterate multi-modal
environment.
Hope to talk to you online,
Demetri
ps. Please forward this on to your faculty who may be interested in this
learning opportunity. It could become a good tool for professional
development in building communities of practice.
pps. Thanks to those who responded to my previous query about Tablet
PCs! I intend to collate the info and post it to the tablet group on
this ISEnet site.
