I visited both of the library nings and think I would use Texas School Librarians. The videos are useful and it is probably a better format than TLC listserve since you can visit the ning and browse around rather than getting 25 email messages. Like so many of the other things that we have explored, I am unsure if I would actually use a ning very often. I just don’t spend that much time at my computer other than checking out books and checking my email. But like all of the other things, once I know of something, I begin to hear of ways to use it that make sense and seem actually useful rather than just fun. For instance, my son mentioned that at the big music/film/web festival in Austin, South by Southwest, they set up a ning for participants and guests so that everyone could contribute and “see” what others were experiencing and learning.
