Hey, just goes to show, books aren't always judged best by their covers. The 23 Things introduction to Nings made me go "Oh great, bleepin' Facebook for teachers!" Why would I even want to socially network over the internet? Being the dork that I am, I actually did go to the Ning for Teachers and absolutely loved it! There are some good blogs for discussion, some are a bit 'gripey', others are right on with my philosophy. (Dealing with special needs students, it can be very lonely being the (sometimes one and only) advocate for that child.) However, there are many many blogs that are completely inactive. It looks as if the 23 Things (or something similar) trainings hit hard and heavy, requiring one blog entry and once fulfilled, the blogs went inactive. As luck would have it, the one blog that truly called out to me, was no longer accepting comments. Bummer, I would have congratulated them and validated their posting.
There were also some lesson plans that were practical and totally applicable.
I have already marked the site in Favorites and even if I don't set up an account, I will monitor the activity, especially with regard to lesson plans.
