Thing 23

Classroom 2.0 is an absolutely wonderful resource for educators. You can search topics and see other members suggestion, or you can ask a question of the members and get tons of feedback for your problem or situation. There are tons of videos to learn how to teach/do things, or to show to a class to enhance learning of almost any subject.

Special Ed in the 21st Century is a Ning network that I thought would be useful in my position, and I still think it might be at some point in the future. My experience here showed me that these social/collaborative sites rely on the members for the quality and quantity of the content. From what I can tell, the site is less than a year old and needs time to build up content.

The 23 Thingsters Ning is fun. I liked seeing colleagues I've worked with or taken other classes with. Thanks for putting all the helpful Common Craft Videos in one place.

I could see using a Ning group in school to comment with the teacher and fellow students about current learning, viewing or reviewing videos, etc. I don't see myself using a Ning site daily but I will know how to find answers to technology or education questions.
