Before this, I had never heard of a Ning. I took some time to read about it and explored 2 of the 3 suggested Nings: TeacherLibrarian and Texas School Librarians. I joined both Nings as well as joined 3 groups in the TeacherLibrarian Ning: Elementary School Librarians, Building a Culture of Collaboration, and Information Fluency Project. These groups discuss issues that are important to me as a teacher-librarian so after joing the groups and reading some of the discussions, I added them to my RSS reader.
I think it's important for school librarians to collaborate with each other for fresh new ideas to help keep our libraries up to date. With a tool like a Ning, we are able to "discuss" ideas with experts in the field from across the country.

I see on your profile that you are a scrapbooker--should have known with the title of your blog! Haven't you found some of these tools great for scrapbooking? I understnad your frustration with the photostory. We had trouble with it as well, but finally got it to load. Keep at it!
Scrapbooking is one of my first passions, but i never get time to do it anymore. I own my own Creative Memories business, and if it makes it through the next year of my classes, I will be using some of the tools I've learned about to grow my business back up again. Here is my website, for anyone that's interested.
