My exploration of Ning, lead me to numerous sites and blogs that opened my eyes to different areas that I may have not discovered otherwise. For example, I am extremely interested in Indigo children and found a social network site called indigosocial.com. However, my main focus is Autism and the various techniques that increase socially appropriate behaviors. After engaging with many web tools, I realized that numerous advancements have been made in terms of technology and Autism. It was refreshing that many other individuals are interested in the same educational themes that I am intrigued by.

I felt that navigating Ning was a little more complicated than myspace or facebook and I am not sure if it is because I was more exposed to the others in the past. When I tried to create a personal page it was connected to the previous page I visited. I also had difficulty in finding pages that were correlated to education and autism. The majority of the pages I came across were mothers of children with Autism and while it was nice to read life stories, I wanted to discover more hard-core facts and research as opposed to the real life stories of families who are affected by this developmental disorder.
