Steve Hargadon who developed classroom 2.0 Ning talks about” It turns out that you are especially dependent on early adopters for the success of the network” in his six points to consider.
I do feel that this point can be beneficial in the classroom. I see how you can really create with this network page. You are able to add lots of topic, blogs etc that will interest many people and that is what Mr. Hargadon talks about in his 6 points to consider. You need to make your network page friendly and appealing so that people will continue to post and come back for more ideas. This could be very beneficial for all teachers to look at and for great feed back. I also thought that the picture posting was great. To me this looked more like a blog and a networking page combined.
The idea of getting other educators to contribute is what needs to be done when you are creating a network for educators. They need to share that great lesson that just worked or the do not try this with a 1st grader because this is what might happen. Posting great pictures of field trip ideas that you can implement into a lesson is also great.
The idea of early success in a network page I can see this as being a big bonus of making something work with these types of web pages.
