Glad that Michele inspired me to use Ning and I then inspired you. Mike It has been great that Michele is modeling how to use Ning and continues to inspire us. Christine Facilitating online communities is not easy--Michele is an amazing person. I sit back and watch her in awe. We need to keep remembering this adoption time when we use with students or others. Sue

Some had nothing going on, others I never felt a part. Better Blog Community works because it is actively facilitated. Michele is constantly monitoring and feeding the conversation. She has a committed core group behind her, and we intentionally go in and make sure people are responded to, welcomed, and talked with if they want it. Yes, it is an online tool, but it is offline facilitation skills that make it effective. You do the same with eTools. You adoption comment is right on. It takes me a while also, and I love technology. Sue,

I had a Ning account for about 8 months and only started using it with Michele and the better blogs, and now the eTips with u. Have created one at work with a really strange twist and they think i am cutting edge and innovative - what a laugh [4 years ago when i wanted Elluminate here i was RADICAL] go figure. Will post about my 'Ning Thing' as my boss calls it when its more fleshed out. But yes - whats in it for me and how do i use it? thats the key nice work muddy – spot on. you have to ‘get’ it first.
