Ning Will Continue Offering Educators Some Free Services

Education Week (5/4, Davis) reported, "The social-networking site Ning announced Tuesday that a 'major education company' will help keep some services free for educators who use the site with older students and to exchange ideas with one another. Ning, which announced a new overall pricing structure for its services, said the unnamed company would underwrite the cost for the new Ning Mini Networks for K-12 educators and those working with students 13 and older." According to Education Week, "Company officials provided few details Tuesday, and it remained unclear as to exactly which education groups would receive free services."
