My love hate relationship with Google just switched over to love today as I just got my Google Wave account invite today, and am going to spend the rest of the day playing around with this puppy to see if it will work for the school I work at. As we take a look at how to kill off the sterility that online education has become, thinking that Google wave might just fill in some of the gaps in how we can use social collaboration tools like Google Wave to expand and increase the value of online education.

“Google Wave takes on traditional e-mail systems and incorporates chat-like or instant messaging technology all in one. Instead of a typical “I send you a message, you receive it and you reply” type of exchange, Wave encapsulates conversations between people and shows real-time responses in line, more like threaded comments than individual messages. If you and I are having a conversation in Wave, you see me type out my responses, typos and all, as I pound out a reply. To respond to my note, just click below the last message and extend the thread.”
