shared by Kartini Ishak on 03 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • Google Plus (Google+) is Google's crack at Social Media. It's very similar to Facebook in the sense that all members have their own unique network, and anything and everything within your network will show up in your news feed. In other words, just as Facebook shows you what your friends LIKE, Google Plus shows you what your contacts +1.

  • Mobile and smartphone usage is most prevalent in the morning and evening. Smartphone users tend to glance at and skim over emails more than desktop users who tend to fully read emails. Smartphone users around the world tend to use their smartphones at home more than anywhere else. From October 2010 to October 2012, email open rates on smartphones increased by 300%. Mobile email creates twice as many conversions as social and search. The average price of an order placed from a mobile device is higher than the average order from a tablet or desktop. Mobile and smartphone usage is higher Thursday – Monday than on Tuesday or Wednesday.

    As we use our smartphones more and more, our patterns of email reading and replying change. We could take note of these patterns, especially if doing surveys or email marketing campaigns, for better responses.

  • A recent study of Google+ showed that it is more popular with parents than students,  which could be a favorable indicator of how popular it is for those educators of the same generation.
  • One example of how teachers are using Google+ Pages to run their classrooms, is that of Mr. McDowell who teaches World History at West Hills High School. Mr. McDowell has made great use of Google’s tools to give students access to documents, schedules, presentations, videos and password protected areas like attendance and grade records.
  • access to Google+ tools and pages from any computer promotes interactivity on the site and is a big hit with educators

      A good point to note. Educators are using Google+ for its easy userbility and interactivity
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Facebook doesn’t offer a platform that supports real-time interactions and information sharing like Google+.
  • Google+ still has a learning curve for all users
  • Google+ Pages provides control for sharing information by allowing you to sort your contacts into “circles”.
  • This provides a new dynamic in which great opportunities for tutoring can thrive.
  • create custom “hangouts” which brings people from within your circles that you select, to interact in a virtual room together.

    A little backdated article in 2011, but I thought it would be good to start exploring possibilities of Google+ and using it in classrooms

  • 5. Topics of Conversation
  • information is public and searchable inside Google+
  • Without “friending” every fan out there, this information is difficult to track through Facebook.
  • A post in Google+ can be sent to select circles, meaning there can be circles for alumni, donors, current students and prospective students, and each can receive targeted messaging.
  • no need for multiple profiles.
  • Every item shared on Google+ allows you to choose with whom you wish to share it.

    Google+ can work for higher education.

shared by yeuann on 09 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • A growing list of schools are turning to the "serendipity engine" to help students find cross-discipline collaborators for passion projects.
  • finding a cross-disciplinary collaboration is tougher--most of us are more likely to head to a meetup or networking event to fish for someone outside of our skill set. That’s fine, but it’s not a very efficient way to find exactly what you’re looking for.
  • yeuann on 09 Apr 13
     
    Interesting! What if we could do something similar - a website where collaborators can gather from all over the world to work on e-learning strategies and applications?
