Google+ is being promoted as the next best and the most amazing, awesome collaboration tool. To be more moderate, it may help you promote your classes in a better way.
There are some good ways to think about this and how you get started. Possibly the best function of Google+ is it's availability and the savings on promotional overheads. The tool is open to anyone with a Google Gmail account and is free to users.
Setup an Account
First connect to Google+ at www.google.com and establish an account using your existing Gmail account or follow the online instructions to make a new account.Making a Class Circle
Let's look at one of the basic functions that may assist teachers i.e. building a class environment and populating this with like minded and motivated students /people.After you’ve set up your account and published your profile, go to your Circles page and start adding people in your class to the circle.
When you have it all populated, share it with the people in that circle, so they can all add each other to the same circle.
Do this by clicking “share this circle” in the upper right hand side of your screen. (If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section and Google+ promise to sort you out.)
Sharing your Lesson Plans
You can post your lesson plans to your circle without sharing them to the outside world. Simply click the X on other circles and sharing options like “public” and “extended circles” until your special class circle is all that’s remaining, and you have your privacy.
Now, post lesson plans, share YouTube videos, photos, and more via links. You can even do location-related homework by having people post location check-ins to the circle as a response to your plans.
Conclusion
I hope this posting has been of some assistance to you and wish you and your students great success for the future.
