** || **Student Reviewer Feedback ** || ||  || ||   || ||   || ||   ||
 * **Criteria Descriptors
 * **Quality of Content**
 * Does the content (writing) make sense? || Good detail, and description but there should have been a clearly introduction into what the issue/ what "collaborative webs" are. ||
 * Can you identify any areas which need clarification? || The introduction. ||
 * Pose three questions that arise from your reading || How do the websites work? How do they get used in schools? ||
 * **Communication**
 * Look at the Discussion pages of the wiki pages - effective communication? || Not very long discussions, but some of the ones that are longer display good progress and talking to solve problems. ||
 * Do they need more? || There could be more discussion, maybe not only of what members are assigned to what task, but of some concerns with the content of the subject; not just the project load? ||
 * Are they clear in their messages to each other? || Yes; they write and display orders clearly. ||
 * Is there a sense of negotiation and collaboration? || yes; I saw good organization between arranging who is editing, or doing various other tasks. ||
 * **Collaboration**
 * Does the work appear to be equally shared? || Yes. ||
 * Does there appear to be any difficulties by one or more members of the team? || No; everyone seems to know what they are doing and each ask constructive questions. ||
 * **Presentation - Layout and Design**
 * Amount and relevance of graphics and media - comment on that || I appreciated the graph of females to males using facebook; but although bit is interesting it does not really support any ideas brought up later in writing. It doesn't seem relevant. ||
 * Recommendations? || Be more clear introducing what the websites are, and how they work briefly; and then discuss their impacts on education. Also explain the relevance of the graph. ||

__Ning Summary__ Ning, ia fairly new interactive website which is just getting its kinks out, and has done a lot of good work for its users as of early 2007. Now, even inexperienced web users can create their own fully functional, customized interative network. There are easy to use and download applications, and for the more advanced user; the availability to use html codes if so desired. Ning also has "text boxes, RSS feeds, forums, blogs and videos" (Arrington) all enabling users to connect and interact on many different levels. Ning is definately moving foward as it raised $60 million this year, and has "230,000 social networks, and is adding 1,000 a day" (Business Journal)!
