Oh wow!! Thank you Christina for letting us research for the openly networked ways of learning. As an Arabic language educator, my first priority is to find some networked communities to help me and my students to explore, create, and share at the same time.
1- We as teachers need always to be connected to networks to update our knowledge. One of the best American organizations for teaching foreign languages is ACTFL (American Council of The Teaching of Foreign Languages). ACTFL provides a professional network for language educators to promote the teaching and learning of the languages and cultures.

2- OER Commons is a great dynamic library and network to discover, create, and share. It has many groups to join. Also, it has hubs where groups
can create and share collections associated with a project or
organization. What I really liked about it that it has Arabic language groups and a hub. For more information please visit:
3-I always teach on Skype. It is the easiest way to meet my private lessons' students when we can't meet face to face.
4- Hangouts, Blogger, Google Sheets, and Google Drive, all of these social networking tools are great for openly networked connected learning.
5- I just found Edmodo. "Edmodo is a global education network that helps connect all learners
with the people and resources needed to reach their full potential."
