After reading the information about the Ning and being a member of the CyFair librarian’s Ning I think that this would be a great way to create a community of readers. I think I would like to find out more about them, but I believe my book club students would benefit from having and helping to create a Ning. I like that they can post information about books and respond to each other and that they would be able to link to book trailers, movie trailers, and anything else that they thought it would be great to share. I like the idea that it is similar to Facebook so they would be comfortable with the social aspect of it, but I can limit membership to just my club members. Since they are often involved in other activities this would allow everyone to joint the discussion even if they can’t make the meeting. This could also give them to ability to interact more with The Cy-Springs students who were a part of our book club and still come visit with us during the year.
I am not sure that I would use this with teachers, but it might be a great way for the different teams to share, meet, and plan since there are no team leaders anymore. I might even suggest that the Differentiated Instruction teacher leaders create one for themselves to share ideas and information.
