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.
