Nings are social networking communities. We have a parent ning for WEMCHS parents. We can use the ning to keep parents connected and to allow parents a space for communicating with each other. This space will come in handy for planning major events like prom.
Approximately a dozen parents have joined the WEMCHS Parent Ning so far. Teachers and parents have been sent an invitation to join. The ning is located on our school webpage under the Parents section.
There are some other possibilities for using these nings. As we have seen at our trainings at the Friday Institute, we can use the nings to stay connected with other subject-area teachers in early colleges around the state. If there is enough interest, I will start a professional ning for us and ask the other technology facilitators in our cohort to invite their teachers to participate.
