Google Wave for the K–12 Classroom
(Description) Learn about Google's game-changing communication and collaboration tool, explore setting up and using Wave, and discover practical applications for use in the classroom
This was the first time I have tried out the Google Wave after hearing so much about it. It has often been described as revolutionary in term of re-defining how we will communicate but also as confusing and over complicated. Well after sitting in the session for the hour I am taking the side of the "Complicated" - and more importantly I don't see this as a very practicle piece of software for educators. This in part due to its complexity, but also I see it as almost "too real time", meaning that I like the idea of taking some time to formulate thoughts and ideas instead of the being so on the fly. So, although I am a Google fan boy I am not going to use this at all.
