Ooops! Project Three

I see that I should have made this its own post, instead of posting one post talking about Projects Two and Three.

To remedy that (better late than never), I'm reposting my Project Three discussion here, along with the link to the report.

We tried out four different online tools: two synchronous and two asynchronous. We tried out Wikispaces, which I was already familiar with (and which I suggested). I find Wikispaces to be of great use, because you can all edit it, but it records what changes have been done and who made them, allowing you to not only update information, but grade group work by checking exactly who has done what, and when they did it. Tapingya was interesting, but I struggled to find much use for it (that's the story of the Internet, sometimes). Tokbox was cool, especially the way you could "post" short video messages while communicating via text, voice, or video.

I loved Ning. It's like being able to set up a class website or social network site, with built-in chat function, all by yourself. It's a great resource for the online component of a class that isn't going to be using WebCT/Blackboard.
