Technology with Teaching: An example of a Google Plus "Community Discussion"

I'm giving a workshop soon in a community where there is virtually no broadband access to the Internet.   I've recently visited several schools in New Zealand and Australia that use the Internet to build digital portfolios for students as well as the famous HighTechHigh.org school in San Diego (where students put their portfolios online).

I have been looking for an example of "how teachers can use the Internet in teaching."  Here's an interesting exchange that shows the advantage of posting to an online community.

Does anyone know of a twitter gadget that I can add to a Google site. I want to add a twitter feed onto a school Google website but the twitter gadget doesn't seem to work

It's called Google Apps for Education

I learned about it when I signed up for a course on MIT's Media Lab
