Learning+Community+Summary

My post: I don’t really have a lot of experience with the global learning community. I haven’t really explored much out of comfort zone. I try to look at the social networking pages both personal and professional and I find them a bit overwhelming. It is hard for me to locate information and follow all of the topics that are in the boxes all over the pages. I did learn that there are a lot of ways that social networking pages can be used in an educational fashion. I am not sure that I am ready to use them with my students just yet though. I also thought that the Ning pages had a lot of the same information (as far as school news, class information, etc.) as the Wiki pages we have looked. In my opinion the wikispaces are easier to follow and a little less busy. I am definitely going to try and incorporate a wikispace into my class. I may in the future, after further investigation, include a social networking site.

After posting a few classmates responded and agreed with what I was thinking and also felt they were a little more comfortable with Wikis.
