Because Google+ content will appear in Google's natural search results, it's important for your local business to have a page of it's own!
Google+ attracted over 100,000,00 users within the first 6 months of its launch and sites with a Google +1 button across their site generate 3.5 times more visits to their Google+ Page than those without the button.

Here is the textbook that I created/curated for teaching my New Media Technology class during the Spring semester of 2012 at Hannam University's Linton Global College. I took great effort to give credit where it is due. I aimed to show my students how they could access enough free info on the web that was of equal or greater value than the wonderful information found in expensive textbooks. Feel free to share and please support the true authors of this book in any way you can (money, likes, blog comments, links, etc.) I am simply the currator of this content. If you would like a free tablet-friendly PDF file, just email me at kenmorrison30 @ yahoo.com (no spaces)
P.S. There are some typos and honest mistakes in this textbook, but I am comfortable sharing it as is. I am excited to redesign it for next semester. Ken Via Ken Morrison

"Wikipedia can often get a bum rap from many in the education community. Sometimes, it’s for good reason, as it can be a VERY overused information source by students AND adults alike...Today I want to reflect on its benefits as a starting reference or secondary (maybe tertiary) source to start of your research, based on how I used it to research my History resource." Via Beth Dichter
Beth Dichter's curator insight,

Many students choose to use Wikipedia as a primary resource and many teachers tell students they should not use Wikipedia...but what if you require that they confirm all information from other primary resources? Gleeson notes "I believe starting with the much maligned site had several benefits that will transfer over to the students’ use." He discusses four issues that students often face when searching online: * Where do I begin? (Based on my discussions with students most students tell me they use Google, but that does not mean that they look beyond the first page of results, or know how to do searches.) * Key word search - Do your students know how to use key words? Wikipedia may help with this. * Secondary source drives me to primary source - Allow the secondary source to provide some foundation, but confirm with primary sources. * Effective time management for checking sources. Additional information on each point may be found in the post. Delete the scoop?

Robin Good: If you are interested i understanding how most people utilize and move between the use of their smartphone or tablet, to their desktops or TV screens and viceversa, this elegantly illustrated feature by Google, will definitely provide you with some new insight and some relevant data.
"Today 90% of our media consumption occurs in front of a screen. As consumers balance their time between smartphones, tablets, PCs and Televisions, they are learning to use these devices together to achieve their goals."
"...some insights from our latest research:
-> 90% of consumers begin a task on one device and then complete it on another device.
-> Smartphones are by far the most common starting point for this sequential activity.
-> TV no longer commands our full attention.
-> TV strategy should be closely aligned and integrated with the marketing strategies for digital devices.
In essence: "While consumers are using more than one device simultaneously, content viewed on one device can trigger specific behavior on the other.
Recommended. Both for the info as well as for its presentation and design approach. 9/10

"Google Earth was one of the very first pieces of software that I began to create educational resources with. As I put it in one of my first ever blog posts 5 years ago: ”This app won me over straight away.” The engaging environment really struck a chord with me and I remember fondly my first forays into using it to support learning. It has developed so much over the years...." Via Anne Whaits, Smaragda Papadopoulou, Gust MEES Delete the scoop?
