2+-+How+does+GoogleWave+work?

**For Today's In-School Learners:**
Google Wave is an effective system for the more advanced computer-savvy students to use to edit documents they create in class. The playback features are effective for a teacher to use when grading students work, as the system keeps track of each and every keystroke, so if a team is editing a project, the teacher can properly and fairly assign grades depending upon a students work in the class.

The students that are more familiar with email will probably be the ones most drawn to the technology, as it updates live. Seeing each others suggestions might make students feel more comfortable with updating projects and realize that each and every word can be altered and changed, hopefully by a group consensus.

If a student has a Google email account, their GoogleWave communicates easily with their email, which enables the students not to miss any updates to a project during their busy days.

**For Today's Out-Of-School Learners:**
People can easily use GoogleWave in a business setting, utilizing the discussions and gadgets and documents to have a meeting on the site. Everyone enters their own chat text, can edit the document and see the changes. They can even use a gadget to vote on issues, and use that voting tally as an official record.

They can also use GoogleWave to organize a trip, to organize a bake sale, or any charity work can be easily discussed over GoogleWave.
