7 Things You Should Know About Second Life | EDUCAUSE.edu
I think this would have great application for my social studies class. I can see this working really well for exploration of various history units, and I think my kids would be very engaged. Some of my higher kids would be thrilled to try creating their own second life projects as well.

I just rolled out my Remind 101 info at open house last night, and parents were really excited about it. I love that they are now offering support for families who speak other languages, this would be very beneficial for students at my school. Excited to use this program this year!

I found this article to be really interesting because it is so important for students today to know that importance of digital portfolios. Students all throughout school, in all grades, must know the importance of creating a portfolio that displays their progress and accomplishments. This article highlights many helpful resources that can be used.

Definitely something that is useful to me as I start sharing articles and resources that I find to be useful!

Learning about Ning
I had actually never heard of Ning prior to reading this article, but I find the concept really interesting on an educational level. I like the idea of having more control over what your page looks like, compared to facebook. Also, I like the idea that my students aren't as familiar with it so it could be used more with educational applications to meet the needs of my classroom (at least initially), and with the control over the network it seems like I would be able to establish parameters of who could see our material and what we used it for. I am looking forward to learning more about Ning and finding useful ways to use it in my class next year.
