Online Tools for Group Projects
Working together is not always easy...some of the challenges include:
- Bringing together different ideas, finding common ground
- Bringing together research on your topic
- Logistics – meeting times, task assignments
- Keeping up with everyone’s progress
- Piecing together the patchwork of parts into one coherent project
- Finding good tools to bring your work together and present it
