Justin, I second Laura's suggestions. Steve was very responsive to my request for help in making my nings ad free. Honestly, I am not telling my admins about my ning. I will find the right time and place to SHOW them one. It seems to me the main issue is security, and ning makes a private ning possible. Remove the ads, make a private ning, and there is no more secure vehicle on the web.<br />

Wow, Justin, that is so frustrating about your school's decision. Have you contacted Steve Hargadon to see if he has any ideas that could help you, or talked to any of the folks at Ning? (There is a HUGE community of folks over at the <a href="http://Classroom20.ning.com">Classroom20.ning.com</a> who might have some ideas about how to win the administration over to your side!) I hope you will be able to get your Ning unblocked!<br />

There is this bizarre irony that at the university level, we are free basically to do whatever we want with educational technology (nothing is EVER blocked)... but very few university faculty are making use of these exciting and powerful new tools. That gives me a lot of admiration for all the K-12 folks I have met online who are finding ways to use these tools with their students, despite a lack of support from their schools and sometimes even downright opposition.<br />
<br />
I really hope you will find a good solution!!! It also frustrates me to think that the <a href="http://Aesopus.Ning.com">Aesopus.Ning.com</a> that I have built to help people using my new Aesop textbook will not be able to access on their school computers because of a blanket Ning ban. Very sad indeed!!!

I, too, am excited about the possibilities for using ning in the classroom, and was one of the first to join SCHOLA (schola.ning.com). I used SCHOLA and eclassics quite a bit in my classes last year; alas, this year, ning has been added to our school's list of blocked websites. I am still working on convincing the higher-ups to reverse this decision!

Bob, thank you for taking the time to write and share this VERY informative post. I am so glad you are having a good experience with your Ning. It is at the heart of what I do with my online college courses, and it is so exciting to hear that they work well for a high school setting, too!<br />
<br />
There is, sadly, not too much traffic at eClassics.ning.com, because people are so used to using LatinTeach and email as their primary (only?) mode of online communication. Anyway, let's hope some people…

There is, sadly, not too much traffic at eClassics.ning.com, because people are so used to using LatinTeach and email as their primary (only?) mode of online communication. Anyway, let's hope some people might find their way here and see a Ning in action - I think it's great posting about your use of the Ning here at a Ning, so people can see exactly what you are writing about!<br />

Although my course Nings are closed, I have an open Aesop Ning, which I am really happy with. I hope very much that students and teachers who might be using my Aesop book to benefit from this Ning as a place to share questions and ideas about fables, proverbs, Latin, all that good stuff! Here's my Aesop Ning: <a href="http://Aesopus.ning.com"><b>http://Aesopus.ning.com</b></a><br />

I sure wish someone would create a Vergil Ning. I'm not a big Vergil person myself, but that would be such a boon to the AP teachers and students out there!!! :-)
