While exploring googles wide range of applications that they offer I came across- google groups. I decided to give it a whirl and set up a group /web page,blog for my AP students to keep in contact with me over the summer. What I like about it is that you can keep everything private. I selected my self as the mediator and then invited students. They will be able to post comments and images but not with out permission first. I also posted up links to websites I felt would be helpful. I like the mediation part because it forces me to keep up on the postings/discussions as well as make sure that inappropriate content does not get posted. I'm hoping it will continue to work out as well as it has so far. http://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg
What a great way for students to keep in touch during the summer. Postings and discussion groups are a great way for them to interact with each other and you as their mediator. I am curious to know if this will work throughout the summer. Please post to let us know how it goes. Good luck.
