Online Collaboration

Online tools to help people to collaborate would be good because people may not be in the same place and may need to give information to their group members. Google docs would be a great tool because an individual can choose who they want to share their document with. Once everyone in the group receives their link to the document, they can go in and view the document and they can also edit it if they see that something is wrong or they want to add something. Each person would have a different color font on the document so it would be easy to see who edited what.

Another good tool is dropbox. Dropbox is basically a way a person can store a document on one computer and open it on another. A group could benefit from dropbox because they could use it to store their documents in one place and pull them up in another. Work that is done at home can be pulled up at school or in the office to show the other members of the group, or work from the office or school can be pulled up at home to do individual work. Dropbox is helpful because it eliminates the need to carry around a device that you can save your work on because the device could potentially be lost at some point.
