Hi Edith,
I have started using Ning for a language exchange between my students
and a group in Germany this semester and it has been fabulous. I plan
to create a group to connect our international and American students
here for language exchanges in Ning once the semester ends. Based on
what I've seen students doing in the US/German exchange, I am hoping
that it will work well. I think my students like Ning because they can
add in so many multimedia documents to express themselves (and of
course it is similar to Facebook, which they all know very well.)
I am also very interested in knowing how others are using these
resources. I look forward to everyone's responses!
Tina
