Questions about Using a Ning
The ning is new to me. I'm struggling to make sense of it, to understand how it should/can mesh with other digital tools I and my students are currently using. Here are a few questions I'm grappling with and would love to hear your ideas:
- Have any other teachers used it for literature circle/book club discussions? How did you set up circles--by books, by small groups? Did you allow students to create groups, or did you--the administrator--create the grouops?
- How does this mesh

- Hello Lisa,
Welcome to Flat Classrooms. I just started reading the book in your profile picture. :)
The video you embedded on your Website is also one I discovered this summer and plan to share with our staff this school year. We are starting a new adventure in our K-8 school this year - a full-time library media specialist (me) and somewhat of a flexible schedule. I appreciate your words about our students... our future.
Thanks for sharing your resources through your Website - much appreciated!
