    I wonder what this could mean for using Google+ in the classroom – perhaps teachers could post links in a circle exclusively for the students in their class, and allow students to …

    Just so you know, I think the link on your website to your author application form is wrong (it goes to https://hyperink.wufoo.com/forms/hyperink-author-application... , which says…
