WHAT IS WAVE?
![Page 3: 2010 Spring Google Wave Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/55d5230cbb61eb6f118b456c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wave is…
Wikipedia: “a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by extensions…”(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Wave)
Google: “a personal communication and collaboration tool that makes real-time interactions more seamless…”(source: http://www.google.com/support/wave/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=162898)
Gina Trapani (wrote a book about Wave): “multimedia wikichat”(source: interview, http://smarterware.org/4475/frequently-asked-questions-about-google-wave)

• At the center: “waves”
• What’s a wave? (Not Wave, but wave)
– Server-hosted xml document• Synchronous and asynchronous capabilities• Merges text, audio/video media, attachments, gadgets, & more• Still to come: spreadsheets, presentations, other “office” docs• Will take many different shapes: image, video, audio files, etc.• Waves are, in turn, embeddable (e.g., blogs)
Wave is…

WHY WAVE?
![Page 12: 2010 Spring Google Wave Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/55d5230cbb61eb6f118b456c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Advantages for the L2 classroom
• Open platform– OS independent (Mac/PC)– Many users from any
location can collaborate– Think Google Docs
• Accessibility– Many people already have
Google accounts– Target language speakers
• Beyond UIC– Waves persist privately or
publicly
• Truly multilingual– Not just Latin alphabets
• Unicode repetoire: L2R, R2L, Syllabaries, Abjads, Abugidas, Logograms
• IME-dependent languages
• Playback feature– Easily review student
contributions– Think accountability

… but more importantly
Ease of Collaboration
Advantages for the L2 classroom
![Page 14: 2010 Spring Google Wave Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/55d5230cbb61eb6f118b456c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A couple of issues
• Technology in infancy– Missing some basic,
useful features– Some extensions (gadgets
& bots) difficult to use– Wave isn’t an established
medium like e-mail
• Privacy à la Google– Many folks have legitimate
concerns– Work-arounds exist
• Truly multilingual– NLP & Translation (more later)
• New communication model + expanding versatility = learning curve– UI underrepresents capacity– Waves will be able to become
any kind of ‘document’
• Potential Messiness– 1 line ÷ 1 blip = bad– More than e-mail or chat

WAVE HOW & WHEN?
![Page 17: 2010 Spring Google Wave Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/55d5230cbb61eb6f118b456c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What you’ll need to get started
• Eventually, Wave account incorporated in Google account, but until then…
• An invitation
• Sporty computer
• Some practice
![Page 18: 2010 Spring Google Wave Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/55d5230cbb61eb6f118b456c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Projects made easy with Wave
• Richer wikis
• Interactive trip itineraries
• Target language multimedia “chats”
• Group brainstorming
• Hold audio & video conferences
• Learner-generated, cumulative note-taking
And each project could be reviewed/edited by a native speaker of a target language.

Specific concerns for language instructors
• Translation bots
• Participant hierarchy … or lack thereof
• Again, 1 line ÷ 1 blip = bad
