I have to say that I am very pleased to finally have a proper understanding of the term 'Wiki'. It is a term that is used often but I never took the time to find out what it actually means. I think that Wikis are very beneficial to education. They make professional and student collaboration so much quicker, simpler and easier. It is very similar to working collaboratively on a Google Doc.
The term 'Ning' is one that I hadn't heard of before. I thought it might be something complex, however the YouTube videos made it simple to understand. I also found looking at the English Comparison Ning helped me to understand the concept too. I think it's great that you can find virtual communities based on professional or personal interests and have a way of sharing and discussing ideas with people.
Google Sites could be used in so many ways for education. A way to share information about the school or even just a class website; it could be used by teachers to share information about a class project or to present students with information about a certain topic. The list is endless. I look forward to using Google Sites more often in the future.
