Ken Morrison's insight:

This is part of the reason why I have integrated Scoop.it into the classroom. More importantly, I integrate many aspects of connected learning and PLN development.  I try to model for my students that many experts in their fields are willing to spend a few minutes to help polite young students who reach out to them.

Ken Morrison's insight:

Google set the tone for the next 12 months at their I/O conference this week.  It was not a surprise that they talked about Google+'s impact on social media. It was a bit of a surprise that they discussed educational opportunities for using Google+ in the classroom.
