This weekend the best and worst thing happened to me. The best thing was that I received an invite from Google to play around with Google Wave. Of course, this was also the worst thing since I had three papers and a midterm due on Monday.
Early returns though show a lot of promise for Wave. It is buggy and slow now, but it has plenty of potential for collaborating on projects. In fact, I think it will be the way students work on group projects in the future, especially for Internet classes. It is great because then you can do your group work without ever having to see the people in your class. I can't wait to be able to make derisive comments in real time. No more waiting until you get home to try to remember the dumb thing someone said.
But seriously, the collaboration ability for Google Wave is exciting. I can't wait to start using it for project coordination. It might actually make me procrastinate less. Well, at least until the shine wears off.
