Thing #22

A Ning could be very useful as an outside source to connect all of my classroom parents. They're currently connected to the goings-on for school things, but since many of the students also do extracurricular activities together (or have friends that do), a Ning for each class would not only allow parents a non-affiliated way to be in touch, but it's also something they could keep using throughout the schoolyear and beyond, as my students become someone else's students. Miss S's Ning would be useful during the schoolyear, but it would also give that group of parents and students a way to stay in touch in the future if they wanted.

More important, it's a pretty easy thing to set up, and I could do one for each year to keep my new class plugged in!
