Hi Robyn, welcome to CR 2.0. I teach biology, chemistry, and physics online as a volunteer with VHSG. We use Ning as a social site with our students and their families. Let me know if you have any questions about Ning.
For the Math 2.0 style, I recommend that you get in touch with Maria Droujova. She has been doing quite a lot in that area. She also runs a weekly math session online on Wednesday evenings in LearnCentral. Her LearnCentral member page is http://www.learncentral.org/userprofile/view/795
Hi Robyn and welcome to classroom2.0 from a fellow Australian. Your questions may go unnoticed on your introductory comment. However, would you like to add it to the discussions/forums as you may get a better response there.
Hi, I am a hapless newbie in this area (indeed to teaching as a whole). I only graduated 2.5 years ago and are currently teaching special ed students in an Australian high school.
I can see the potential for nings as a socialising outlet for my otherwise isolated students. I am planning to start our own ning for students with disabilities. I don't know if I will have much to contribute to the site, but I hope to lap up all your expertise.
I am also looking for basic 2.0 numeracy sites and other sites where we may exchange work and information with other students and basically expand the students' digital literacy. (Have been shown Museum Box).

There is a subgroup here at 2.0 called Web 2.0 and Math. The link is http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topics/web-20-and-math. It isn't a very active group, but sometimes all it takes is someone posting a question or two to wake everyone up when a group is small.
