1.2+Google+Groups

Google groups is a fantastic collaborative Web 2.0 tool which can easily be useful in the classroom as online discussions promote interaction among students. Google groups can also have the ability to be highly educational if the teacher was to form a discussion within the class' google groups forum about a particular topic. Google groups can be easily monitored by the teacher and therefore control what is posted by every student. For our Multimedia Literacy class it has proven to be useful in sharing ideas about resources and other educational discussions. Google Groups is a great way to connect with other people, whether a stranger or a friend, where you can share information either anonymously or as a 'username'

I as a future educator would adopt this strategy in my classroom because I believe if a student is asked to write a 500 word response to a particular topic, they would much rather type their response than hand write it.
