Next on the list is ShowDocument this application allows live document sharing via the Internet like wimba there is a presenter that invites others to a document that the presenter has created. Each person coming into the session gets to put in their name and will be identified as such for the session and unique color is assigns to each. Everyone has full editing capabilities and everyone can see what everyone else is doing. Text can also be shared in the dialog box like wimba.
How do I use this in the classroom? I upload a document to the site give the students the invite info and have them log in then we work on the assignment in collaboration. It’s a great tool to watch students handle specific task and to invite group based problem solving. There are oblivious benefits to this program while working on school committees and documents and each person can do this from his or her own desk saves time and paper.
This seems very interesting to me. It looks like a Google doc with Dashboard together. I especially like the whiteboard.
