File Sharing and Social Networking

Over on the TLWMSN Google Group I just uploaded about 20 Boardmaker files for everyone. Enjoy!

The Google Group is a great place for file sharing but hasn't been a place for special needs teachers to talk, now I am introducing the TLWMSN Ning Social Network Site I figured ("figured" is my classrooms word for the week) it was worth a shot to make a social network for us.

In case you are new to the concept of social networking (that's what things like Friendster, Myspace and Facebook are) you can read or view a simple explanation. You can also read specifically about Ning.

Ning networks are like contained versions of Friendster or Myspace. They focus on one topic, such as Ninjas, Firefighters or Assistive Technology.

Now there is a Ning network for us, special needs teachers who focus on learners with multiple disabilities (or whatever other phrase you use). It is a place to tell success stories and ask question. A place to meet others in the field from all over the world. Check it out!
