TrUnity is a fully hosted social publishing platform on which anyone or organization to create scaleable, group managed websites and communities, easily. Its perfect for schools and teachers and students, at many levels and is being used in many different ways.<br />
<br />
Great for learning web 2.0 publishing, as a tool for delivering curricula and assignments or just to build a website for the soccer team.<br />
<br />
There are also many great educational NGOs using the platform to further their educational mission statements.<br />

If your tech people can't or won't consider renting server space (VERY CHEAP). Maybe your PTA would donate the funds.

Another option would be to have your school create a Moodle. My <a href="http://www.masterymaze.com">website</a> is created in Drupal, another opensource platform which your tech people might use for a site for younger students. Good Luck!<br />

Don't give up. Talk to your techies. Who knows--maybe they have SharePoint, or a Linux server that could run an open source app like elgg.

Unfortunately, Steve is right about the age issue. So sorry!<br />

For more information on using Ning networks with students, it's worth joining <a href="http://education.ning.com/">http://education.ning.com/</a>. There's also a wiki page with a ton of educational Ning networks listed at <a href="http://socialnetworksined.wikispaces.com/">http://socialnetworksined.wikispaces.com/</a>.

Use of Ning by 4th graders would violate Ning's Terms of Service and US COPPA laws. Users must be at least 13 years old.<br />
<br />
If your tech people could install them, there are open source alternatives that would work.

I haven't created it yet, but I plan on working with an English teacher (high school level) on a project on heroes. She wanted students to create profiles of a hero of their choice as if they were creating a myspace/facebook profile. She especially wants students to be able to write on the hero's walls. When its finished I'll post it!
