Google Plus: Is This the Social Tool Schools Have Been Waiting For? - 0 views

  • it may well be the granular level of privacy afforded by Google+ that is the key to making this a successful tool for schools
  • many schools and teachers have still been reluctant to "friend" students
  • that "always public" element of Twitter that makes many nervous

  • teachers are already talking about the possibility of not just face-to-face video conversation but the potential for integration of whiteboards, screen-sharing, Google Docs, and other collaborative tools
  • Google + seems like the solution for someone like me who wants to use the web to have conversations about school topics with students and parents and yet not have students and parents have access to my personal posts.

Glearning blog: Mindmapping in Moodle or Blogger with Shared Spaces - 32 views

  • Google Shared Spaces offers several mindmapping applications. The one I like best is simply called Mind Map Gadget and can be found on:http://googlesharedspaces.appspot.com/gallery/app?app_id=16636
  • Mind Map Gadget allows you to create a shared space, i.e. students can collaborate on the mindmap, which you can embed into Moodle or any other website plus it lets you work directly in that website. The gadget might not be as impressive as Bubbl.us or Mindmeister, however it does offer some advantages in addition to remaining editable after embedding.
