Thing 9: Online Collaboration Tools

I think one of the coolest ways to learn to use these tools is when you are trying to solve a problem. Kicking off 23 Things in our CMLE region created just such a test case. My two other CMLE 23 coaches are LeAnn Suchy, College of St. Benedict, and Cindy Gruwell, St. Cloud State University. From the very beginning, we needed a way to share the registrations of our participants and Google docs became a great solution. We found it best to do the major creation of our Excel document locally, then upload it to our CMLE23 gmail account, where we can all get at our Google docs. In addition to keeping contact info on our participants, we are also able to keep our spreadsheet for tabulating the progress of our participants. This information helped us estimate how many completion prizes were needed too....

Zoho has a Project Management Software tool I would like to further investigate. Got into a tussle with trying to create a portal URL. Later....
