Wikis are something I have been using in the classroom this year and they have been quite effective. This is largely because my classes have embraced them and contributed to them. If students were not willing to do the right thing it would be a lot more difficult. It has been good to show the lack of reliability of Wikpedia - now they can see that anybody can write anything and it isn't always true!
I have felt good that I have been able to show the boys how to create a wiki and how to use it, because we often assume that they already know what to do.
As far as nings go I havent really had much of a go at this. I would use them if there was a need and an easy way of accessing or finding about them.
The Web 2.0 tools have been beneficial and they have alerted me to the possibility of online communities - despite that not really being my style.
I haven't really had any experience of nings, but Id be curious to see what is out there!
There are more nings out there than I thought. Here is just one link I found that has a ning related to children's spirituality...
