GOOGLE PLUS


It is funny when people are misled into believing that Google plus is just a social website. This is just a fraction of the real deal. Google plus is a tool that enhances human communication with a feel of realism, comfort and familiarity.





 Google Plus (Google+) was launched in 2011 and since then, it boasts of hundreds and millions of active accounts (Users). In this vain, it can boldly be said that to reach and impart knowledge to your students, Google + is a great choice.




It comes with a whole package of resources to make not only teaching and learning effective but also social interactions, communities, YouTube Channels, search optimization, business promotions, etc. All these packages and many others are designed to work together effectively and efficiently.



A lecture can be given on google hangouts or on a YouTube Channel, the student works on assignments or take notes in google docs and saves them in a cloud account which can be retrieved later and also email assignments to the lecturer via google mail. Students can also stay active and interactive via Google circles and communities to promote the sharing of resources and information.




Indeed Google + is the “one in all” choice when it comes to education.
