Subject: Re: Ning no longer free
I am curious as to what other tools schools are migrating to if they =
have
been using Ning. We have some faculty using Ning networks in class and
have used it in professional development here at my school. We really
liked the ease of use of Ning, the ability to add embedded content was
particularly nice allowing video, Prezi, Slideshare and other =
presentation
tools to be incorporated. What migration options have folks found? Any
ideas?
