What's great about Ning: the pages look clean and tidy, unlike that other social networking site, facebook. We recently completed a Ning project on World War One. The site has separate pages for pictures, videos, and blog entries. I find facebook unwieldy. Nings can also be made public or private. Best of all, the New York City Department of Education hasn't blocked it. Yet?
Here's a student example: http://serbiarules.ning.com/profile/pdasrat
There's also a lot of room for creativity: the student uploaded photos, Serbian folktales, videos. In other words, he went above and beyond the task, and the site gave him a great template to do so.
I know an English teacher who used Ning for literary characters. That idea makes me almost want to teach English.
