GoogleWave & Literature Update

Better late than never! Two of my three volunteers to use Google Wave are finally composing creative pieces on it. :-) (The third is having some technical difficulties; hopefully we can iron that out today.)

One advantage of using GWave over a shared GDoc is already evident: Whereas opening a GDoc presents only the latest version, clicking an updated Google Wave will show all of the revisions made since you last looked at it.

True, you can see the revisions of a Google Doc if you click around a bit, but this is much more convenient. I can simply click through my students' waves and see what edits and additions they've made without wasting much time.

This may become a standard feature of my teaching, if I can acquire more Google Wave invites. :-)
