Google and Education
July 28, 2009
I have mentioned to a number of people that Google is moving slowly but surely into the education sector. The few people who have asked me about this view have suggested that I am stating the obvious. Maybe? Maybe not? I don’t think educational publishers, the producers of instructional media, the trade associations focused on education, and most teachers understand what’s underway. That is not my concern.
I want to capture one small item of Google information before it slips off my goosely brain. On Friday, Google published a brief item in the Google Sketch Up Blow with the tough to index title, “Calling All Teachers: Help!” The Google wants to know what teachers are doing with the AutoCAD killer SketchUp.
One small rock for the educational aggregate that the Google is mixing.
