10/25--Google Groups (short entry)

Today I played around with Google Groups a bit.  Although I couldn't find a Google Group that I actually wanted to join--most of them seem pretty specific or restrictive--I did create a sample Google Group for my American Lit. class.  The group is called American Literature 2011, and its e-mail is amlit2011@googlegroups.com.  I restricted the enrollment, so people have to be invited to join.  So far, I'm the only member.  :)

I am not yet sure how I'd use this in the classroom.  Perhaps as an alternative to Discussion Boards?  Perhaps as a means to facilitate project group conversation?  I need to give this some thought.
