My name is Baynard. I've been looking for a place to host Reggio - Inspired online collaboration/discussion. I've known Sonya since College. The Ning seemed like a good place to do it. I'm excited to see what might develop here.

Hi! My name is Sonya. I am sitting here at Vassar with Baynard feeling very excited about what this Ning has in store for us! I created my own major at Vassar called "the child" so it seems fitting that I am here starting a new adventure with Baynard - creating an online community with others who are inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach. Welcome!

Thank you Barbara for joining! If you know of anyone else who you think would enjoy and benefit from this, invite them or let us know and we will!

Look forward to seeing you soon...

Sonya,
This has great potential for exciting discussions. Navigating seems complicated right now, but I hope I get the hang of it.
Is Baynard interested in attending the conference?
Do you have any thoughts about the best way to inform conference participants about the workshop choices. Also, can you send me a blurb of what you are going to present? I'm anxious to get a mailing out to participants.
We have been working really hard to get things ready. All is well.
Looking forward to seeing you
Barbara

I don't think I'll be attending the conference but I plan to be in on the Ning.

Hi Sonya and Barbara,

Thanks for the invitation to join. I'm not sure I know what a Ning is, but I like being part of this community.

Marianne,

Welcome.

It's an exploration for us all.

A ning is a customizable social networking site. Part messageboard, part photo sharing, part video sharing....

Think of it as a fun place to share Reggio-inspired stuff.

Hi Marianne

I am so happy you have joined the Ning! I feel it has great potential for Reggio Inspired folks to "play" together virtually. If you can think of anyone else who might have fun exploring in this way, give them an invite!

With smiles! Sonya

I just noticed the envelope icon at the top of the My Page page. That is where the e-mail messages are kept. Who knew?
