Group Work
- Get into your assigned groups (5 people per group)
- Make sure everyone in the group has signed up for Google Apps (if not, sign up now.)
- One person should create a Bubble.us (http://bubbl.us/) or Mindmeister (http://mindmeister.com) account, open the application and keep track of the brainstorming and tasks of the group on their research topic.
- One person in the group needs to create a
Google Docs word processing document and make all others in the group
collaborators. This document is where your research will be kept as you
discover it. (Tip: If someone is working on the document, you may have
to wait until they have saved to add something else.)
- Each group needs to make an entry in the ZohoCreator database.
- As a group, create one Google Docs
presentation slide show with three slides that one person in your group
will use to present your findings to the rest of the group. Make SURE
to share the presentation with me as a collaborator
(kathyschrock@gmail.com). Use Dumpr.net to create one illustration for your slide show.
