Thank you Justin, Nora, Kris, and Jake for contributing on this discussion. I am also pretty new with Google+ and still learning about its potential. I will try Google+ for my free online writing class this Fall. I will keep you with the update of what students think about it. The "Hang Out" on Google+ probably can become a place for having a synchronous online class session. Recently, many blogs and users talk about its potential for education. Here are some links to those discussions:

Hai Scott,
Love to be in your group. While I am not a Second Language teacher, but my interest in technology can come across with this group purpose. Looking forward to have more discussion with you and other group members about how we can incorporate technology, such as text-to-speech, dictation apps, e-reading apps, online dictionary and etc to enhance language learning.

Have anybody experienced using apps for iPad/iPhone/iPod relate with education. These are some apps that i found interesting for classroom teaching & learning:
- Read me stories (reading)
- Math Drills (math)
- TouchChords, Guitar free & Virtuoso (music)
- BestDictation (writing)
- NASA (Science)
Most of these apps are available free on iTune store.
I want to hear more about your experiences using apps in your classroom.
