A couple of weeks ago I told you about the program that Google offers as a kind of group knowledge sharing space.

I am currently using Google Docs, and am really enjoying it. For another class, we have to give a team presentation and we decided to you it to reduce the amount of time that we had to meet in person and set up meeting times, which was inconvenient for us all. On Google Docs we all were able to start accounts and set up a PowerPoint presentation. Each person can contribute to the PowerPoint: adding and changing slide where needed. It’s actually pretty cool. We are able to see when someone makes a revision and other different features. BUT THAT’S NOT IT!

When my team member sent me an email link of the PowerPoint (she is the creator, so has more control) I was able to paste it to a new tab. It sent me to our document with a side panel that we could chat on line, about our presentation; giving feedback and advice to each other on our perspective parts.

I encourage everyone to try it out!! This is really working for us, and has reduced a lot of stress from having to find time to meet which is not always easy.
