Tools, Teaching & Teaching Tools

Wow....it has been a busy weekend.  I've been out of town so I apologize to all my fans who have been waiting with abated breath for my entry.

Our group discussion was really awesome. We were talking about various tools that we could use to collaborate and which one we should choose to do our assignment.

After looking over the examples in the textbook and talking some more, we decided to play with Google + since I was familiar with it and no one else was. We figured we might as well learn a new tool that we will probably all be able to use.

We all got a pretty good taste of what was like, although it wasn't with out problems.  We were trying to use Skype while talking through how to become a G+ member and get everything signed up.  I think my group learned a lot about this cool tool and I learned a little about getting people on it.

I think that I will suggest we have our next group meeting there.  It really is a useful site and by getting them to use it more will be really beneficial.
