Ning is an excellent way to stay connected with other professionals in your field! It is not only a social network, but it is a social network that deals with others in your profession allowing you to share ideas and solutions to problems. On Ning you can blog, chat, share videos and photos, post events, and join groups of similar interests. Using this in the classroom would be simple. First if you got the teachers in your facility to join a network it would be an easy way to stay connected all day without having to leave class unattended. Other ways would be sharing information about a certain subject, a good way to keep everyone in the building on the same page! A school is more functional when everyone is on the same page...so let's get on that :)

Also, don't forget that it can be used to set up a private class site for your future students. This way they aren't socializing with the rest of the internet, but that you have a space for them to continue learning at home with their parents, etc.
