Join me on Wednesday, December 5th, for a special live chat with Gina Bianchini, co-founder of Ning and the creator of the new Mightybell online program. We'll show you the newest features of Mightybell, allow those of you who are existing users to do a little show and tell of your own spaces, and give you a chance to ask Gina any questions that you might have.
I'll be hosting the event, as I've done before, as part of a consulting relationship to help bring the community's voice and ideas to Mightybell. Gina has a huge personal commitment to bringing the benefits of her social projects for free to teachers and learners.
Gina describes Mightybell as a service to help individuals and groups gather around a passion. For teachers, librarians, and learners, it also holds some special opportunities for "content curation and conversation." You have the ability in one place to chat, to post content, and to comment in individual threads on the content (which can be photos, videos, links, files, questions, and events)--and to allow others to do so as well. I now create a Mightybell space for each of my FutureofEducation.com interviews to collect a "living" set of the resources for the attendees.
With Mightybell you can:
