31. Ning and PaiChai PBL
HelloHello
EveryoEveryo
ne!ne!The following are Korean students,
who participated in a Tourism class
last semester that utilized Ning as
blended learning to execute PBL
projects.
32. Testimony 1
“I learned how to cooperate with my
friends and I guess my pronunciation
was improved a little, because I
recoded my voice many times. One
more thing I learned about was many
web-sources that helped my English.”
33. Testimony 2
“I learned how to use the online media
to make a video, and l learn how
studying online can provide project
team organization, and I also could
practice my English with group
partners.”
34. Testimony 3
“The most meaningful thing I learn by
doing this project is that I understand
every organization has its needs and
they must choose the most proper
methods depending on their
circumstances.”

create their own social networks

specific interests. Every aspect is
customizable with their own visual

resources and collaboration.

what kind of
resources can
teachers create in
Ning?
50. Testimony 1
“It's been a great privilege and
pleasure to present Ning to students,
and to represent educators in Ning.
The build-your-own-social-network
model has opened many doors to
thinking about professional
development and classroom work in
the context of social media. I want to
say it's been historic.” -Steve Hardon
(UCLA)
51. Testimony 2
“It is so cool! Just click 'create your own
network' and play! You can also choose to
create a private network. Feedback from
my students using Moodle this year was
that it did a good job, but it was confusing.
Resources in Ning are easy to produce
and students interact well across many of
my classes.” -Pete Witfield (UK high
school)
