I looked at all 3 Nings listed: Teacher Librarian Ning -Texas School Librarian Ning - Ning for Teachers. I will probably join Texas School Librarian Ning as it seemed to have more information that I might need for my job.
When I did a "Ning" search in Google, I came across this blog posting on Nings. http://tech4teaching.org/wpblog/?p=119
The author has a discussion on Nings and "Yes", 7th graders may participate. They commented that most Nings they came across weren't very active. In this blog, I came across a link (Ning)to The Independent School Educators Network- http://isenet.ning.com/ .
( I am currently working in an independent, private school).
They also listed the link for Classroom 2.0. http://www.classroom20.com/.
Both Nings "looked like" (format) the 3 posted Nings in the Thing #22 assignment.
I would use Independent School Educators Network as a place for discussion and collaborating among independent school educators . There is a special network for librarians with 61 members. I saw some interesting things discussed that would help me with my daily job as a Library Media Specialist. The Association of Independent School Librarians has great discussions on my school's e-mail (another alternative to Nings).
