The members of our group leadership project are: Dawn Harris, Jennifer McGrogan, Kevin Upton, and myself. All group members were present for both brainstorming sessions.The webconferencing tool that we used was TinyChat.
There were advantages and disadvantages to using a webconferencing tool such as TinyChat. One advantage is that we were able to come together to discuss our project over the web. TinyChat, when all goes well, allows for all participants to be seen and heard at the same time. Another advantage is that it has a live chat room that appears on the screen while you are conferencing. A disadvantage is that there was a slight delay in audio feed in the first session, and an echo in the second session. Also, in the first session a group member's audio feed was unable to be heard. However, that member was able to type in the chat room during the conference and still participate in the brainstorming session.
The focus of our project is Edmodo, and we will be developing a tutorial geared at teachers for using Edmodo as a web resource in the classroom. Listed below are links to both brainstorming sessions.
