TWT2010_11.+Google+Groups+-+How+to+Get+Students+Talking

 Description:
What is a Google Group? Where can I find it? This free feature on Google functions similar to a wiki or blog yet takes seconds to set up. Learn how this virtual classroom space encourages students to write about what they are learning, provides a safe place to ask questions, supplements lessons with added material or links, as well as gives opportunities for alternative forms of assessment. Google Groups allows for a more student-centered and open-source approach to learning under the leadership and purview of the classroom teacher. Teachers of a variety of disciplines would be interested.
