I'm curious to know why you would not recommend Ning for classroom use ...
it is the only web 2.0 social network site that I know can be completely
locked down so only your class can enter ... hence safe.
What am I missed.... would be grateful to know.
Many thanks

I wouldn't recommend Ning for classroom use just yet, but I think it's a
great tool for professional development. Ning allows you to create your own
public or private social network. For a list of recommended ones, check out
my recent
post<http://groups.google.com/group/friday5/browse_frm/thread/b18cf94968bed5

I particularly recommend Steve Hargadon's Classroom 2.0
