Google Wave – Ideas for Teaching & Learning

Oct 30, 2009 at 9:23 am, Stein

I began the following Google Wave yesterday as a means of orienting myself to its functionality and features, but more importantly as a way to move past the more mundane and obvious applications for education. As you will see, I invited a number of colleagues and contacts to join, then made the Wave open to the public. If you have a Google Wave account, you’re welcome to join in:

This Wave was embedded with the wavr plugin for WordPress. In beta testing I was able to get my wave ID from the URI, and made the wave public by adding public@a.gwave.com.

    Amazing! If you have a Google Wave account, you can actually post and edit even from someone else’s embedded blog. That will do some very interesting things for blogs letting them be less one-wayish (even though it does have commenting).

    Since the blog embedding also makes a Wave public, I wonder if there will be a blog embed option that will also let you keep the Wave invitation only or let you approve comments before they show like you can have in commenting blogs. A Wave so open to the public could invite some mischief makers and spammers to have a heyday with a Wave embedded blog once Wave goes to public release.

    I don’t think that embedding a Wave makes it public, though this would be easily tested by logging out of Wave and viewing this post again!

    It’s a bit of a late response, but anyway: when logged out I can’t see the wave. I get a login box from Google instead.
