New Ning

A new Ning has been created for administrators and leaders in Pitt County Schools. Please click here to access the ning.

If you're not familiar with nings, they are social networks that can be used for a variety of reasons, in this case professional learning. On a ning you have a profile, join (and create) groups, chat in real-time, post to a forum, or engage in discussions with other members. And, unlike posts on a public blog, everything is private and can only be seen by people in the ning. Think of it like a private facebook community, but only limited to those who are approved (in this case, administrators and educational leaders in Pitt County Schools).

Once you click on the link above you will have to register for an account (which only requires an email address) and it will go to the ning administrator (who happens to be me). Once it's approved you're in. It's that simple.

If you'd like to see some other nings you can follow some of the links below to see how they work and operate.
