Project 13- Collaboration Report

For Projects 15 and 16, my group used Google Docs as our main form of communication. We also used text and email on occasion, but for the most part we used Google Docs. I really felt that it was a great way to communicate, and I have even started using it with some of my other classes' group projects.
When working on projects 15 and 16 we wrote out our scripts so that everyone could see what we were planning to say in our videos. We also used it as a way of chatting, by leaving each other messages, for the whole group to see. It was really easy to use, and was a great way for everyone to share their views on different aspects of the projects.
While working on project 16, we decided on the concept of our project face to face during class in November, and started the Google Doc then. After that, we strictly communicated via text and Google Docs. Below is a screen shot of our projects 15 and 16.

I know for a fact I will continue to use Google Docs for projects in the future. This eliminates the problems groups can face when it comes to having to meet at specific times. It is difficult sometimes for everyone to meet at the same time and by using Google Docs, there are no excuses for not having your ideas heard by everyone in your group.
