Networked+Design

Think about how you will design your project so participants can share, connect, collaborate, or move to some type of collective action.
 * Networked Design**

Wikispace for our project development.


 * What tool(s) should we use for the final project?**


 * ~ Tool ||~ Sites with Information ||~ Pros ||~ Cons ||
 * < **Google** ||< @http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/edu/

Here is a Sandbox site that I created so you can test it out: @http://sites.google.com/site/gasandbox/ ||< Google Sites seems to combine different page layout options and be more flexible than Ning or Wikispaces Tech department already familiar with the programs ||< Mike is really annoying (watch the videos) Their definition of "collaboration" is not what we want We can already "share calendars" in their limited fashion and no one uses them The "cloud space" is like our X drive and the docs can be "shared" by one user at a time || too much to look at || Navigation is a bit awkward ||
 * Google docs provide the cloud software for word, spreadsheets, surveys, presentations ||< *From a student perspective it may be that each student would require an email account ||
 * < **Office Live** ||< @http://www.microsoft.com/liveatedu/free-hosted-student-email.aspx ||< Teachers are familiar with the programs
 * < **Ning** ||<  ||< I like the layout with specific sections and tabbed pages
 * Virtual learning platform that allows discussions, blogs, forums ||< layout is not pleasing
 * < **Wiki** ||< http://gilmouracademy.wikispaces.com ||< Lots of widgets so material from different sources can be incorporated easily ||< Maybe too much of a "blank canvas?"
 * Delicious.com || [|http://delicious.com] || Save resources that we use for the project to delicious using the tags:plp finalproject || Need to have people sign up with a Yahoo account to "share" ||
