Educational Technology - Does using a "new" tool enhance learning?
We've implemented several new forms of Educational Technology in the
Medical Curriculum at Tulane over the past 6 years, starting with:
Google Friends Connect biting the dust?
So apparently Google Friends Connect is being discontinued, although those using Blogger may still be able to use it (or so I've read on wikipedia).
I was planning on using this App to connect the students enrolled in our Educational Portfolio (ePortfolio) course next Fall. I want to have a mechanism that will facilitate their being able to read & comment on each others posts.
One alternative for networking with others involved in the ePortfolio course might be to use Google+ Reader http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSPZ2Uu_X3Y Not quite the same thing as the Google Friends App, but it may do the job?

Developing an Educational Portfolio Course utilizing Google's Blogger
This is day one of learning how to use Google's Blogger engine for possible use as a mechanism for reflective writing in a postbac graduate course for students that wish to improve their credentials for acceptance into a US medical school. The two main features of blog posts will be reflective writing on what they are learning in our curriculum at Tulane, and what they are learning from regular participation in community service activities outside the classroom.
