In 2011, it is hard not to take an online class and not have to collaborate with your peers. The nice thing is that ways of communicating are getting easier and easier. You don't agree? Read Thomas L. Friedman's The World is Flat and you may opinion may change.
Because last week's and this week's lessons focused around collaboration (and the evaluation of webpages, which I will mention at the end) it really got me thinking about all of the tools one can use to connect, communicate, and, of course, collaborate.
Personally, I feel that the easiest to use and set up is Google Docs. I have even had real time conversations (instant message style) using a Google Doc before. Other great connection tools are Skype, Elluminate, and even Facebook events/messenger/groups.
After working with my team to make the assessment rubric, I now have a hard time not thinking about the different assessment characteristics. The assignment really opened my eyes to qualities that make up a good website.
