Just submitted the assignment with the pros and cons of each type: FB, Ning and PB Works. FB has the broader network, but privacy and special educational features lack. Ning is simple to use, but the cost and specialized features for educators is lacking. Did search their apps and surprised that out of 253 there was none for educational purposes. Hmm? Is that something that needs to be created to bridge the gap between social networking and LMS systems? I do believe that PB Works is a great fit for many educational applications. It is simple to use, easy to design, allows for private and team pages and collaborative projects to occur to promote learning. The key to a wiki is in the design. I have found that process much more challenging than I expected to develop template pages and format how I wanted the learning to progress in my wiki. What do you think about social networks replacing current learning management systems?
