Introducing Google Calendar Labs - 0 views

  •  
    Google have just released some new (but experimental) functionality for calendars. I'm not convinced that I would actually find most of them useful...apart, perhaps from the next meeting or who's free functionality. Apparently there's now an experimental (again) API for building one's own calendaring apps.

    Who is is free is useful. The todo list tool is much better now

Google Asks Common Man "What is a Browser?" Common Man Has No Clue - 0 views

  •  
    This is kind of related to the conversations we've had lately about digital natives...there's lots of folks out there using the web but there's still only a few that understand what's going on underneath.
  •  
    Fun but ultimately quite thought provoking. Bloke from Google goes to Time Square to ask what a browser is. Less than 8% of people asked knew.

What Intrigues Me About Google Wave - 0 views

    Google's new communication tool due out in the autumn
  •  
    This is going to be big. There is a preview at the wave home page: http://wave.google.com/ (It's quite a long demo talk btw). It is in alpha at the moment and they've unusually announced it now to get developers on board before beta release in the autumn (does anything web 2.0-y ever get beyond beta these days?) as they're releasing it open source.

  • The story of the frustrated student is the subject of a short video produced by students at Manchester Metropolitan University. The university is looking into alternative ways to communicate with students, specifically an SMS service in which messages are sent directly to students’ mobile phones. The system is incredibly simple: staff post a message to the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), and if the message is urgent, the staff member begins the message with the keyword ‘urgent’. The next 160 characters are then sent as an SMS. It’s an opt-in system which students value - not least because they are more likely to receive the messages if they go straight to their mobile device.

      Could we do this in CE6?
