Examples of K-12 Class Nings


I have previously shared these under the Technology Tab on this blog, but because I am starting to reorganize that space a bit, I thought that I would  give them a permanent home here as well.  As always, I will continue to add as I find additional examples.

English

Languages Other Than English

Mathematics

Science

Social Studies

Other

And, while it’s not K-12, Jackie Gerstein’s Diversity and Education site is certainly worth checking out.

    I am writing a syllabus for a social networking class for my high school. I have found a lot of materials but I am wondering what people are thinking on this subject. Does anyone know where to look? Any examples from people who have pulled this off?

      We don’t offer any social networking classes in my high school, but we use social networking in the classes I teach (grade 9 social studies). What exactly are you looking for?

    Hey! Thanks for including our school newspaper/media club Ning in your blog post! My kids will be so happy! We LOVE the Ning platform! We presented at NECC last year – here’s a wiki I built with more information including an Animoto ‘trailer’ and some presentations: http://tbirdtimes.wikispaces.com/. Thanks again! -kj-

      Thank you for taking the time to comment. You have made me, a relatively new blogger, very happy. And I agree…the Ning platform is excellent for education. I hope that it remains open in my District. As a matter of fact, that’s why I started creating the list…as a showcase for all of the ways it can be used to deepen content understanding. ~Angela

    What about K-5 examples? These seem to all be middle and high school examples.

      Because Ning limits its users to those 13 and over, I have yet to find any K-5 examples. I am hoping to run across some elementary school teachers who are using a Ning as a class website (Please share if you know of any). Until then, my examples are limited to middle and high school. Sorry.
