I recently found a website that I think is great for teachers, http://applebatch.com. Applebatch teacher community is a place where teachers can come together and learn all about new technologies and teach others how to use them as well.

I can’t! But I am looking forward to Wave’s official release. I’m hoping that it happens just before a long weekend.

Thanks for your comment. –Lisa

I guess I’ll have to wait along with everyone else! Wave does appear to have promising features for the classroom. I’m excited to try it out!

But the default is for it to appear in real-time.
I agree that it would be something to adjust too.

@Paul – At this point in time I can not imagine the end of Twitter. But, I assume, something will take it’s place, and quite possibly, it could be Google Wave.

I know for me, I am trying to get away from e-mail as the entries are too long and time consuming. I prefer the shorter, more succinct pieces of communication in Twitter and SMS.

Thank you both for your comments.

I type things all the time online and then change my mind or edit before sending. I’ve done it twice in this response already. My fear is that this is going to take make it difficult to instill that “think before you respond” type reticence in our students. I’ll have to follow my own advice and try it and see. I guess playback will contain the teachable moments. Thanks for the summary.

Basically does the same thing but better…
