Thing 22 Nings

I already signed up for The Flat Classroom Project Ning earlier in the course because I was very interested in the concept of a "flat earth" and the fact that we are just divided up as far as email or network can keep us.

Because I would not be interested in something like Facebook or Myspace, Teacher Lingo, which I signed up for, seems right up my alley. Teaching, like medicine and law, is one of those careers where you are required, even if not, to keep up with the new trends and you must have new ideas or you just become irrelevant, and that is my greatest fear!

Teacher Lingo is really great; they have many features, including one I like "Tell us about your day". It can be something bad, something good, something funny; sometimes you just gotta tell someone else what happened because you may be in disbelief or think it's hilarious. I will definitely use this for venting, collecting ideas, and watching podcasts.
