Collaborative Documents with Google Drive

This is a great tool for people to share documents without the limitations of  platforms or software. You only need to know a collaborators email address to share the document. They will need to create a google document account to edit the shared information. You can create a word processing, a spreadsheet, a presentation or a form. Several people can edit the document at the same time with few errors. It is a timesaver when holding meetings with a group. You can post the agenda... invite everyone and then anyone in the group can take notes or edit the notes as they are posted.

Google Drive

Google Docs allows you to create word processing docs, spreadsheets, forms, sites and presentations. All of these can be stored on the Google Server! You can access them from the web.  Even better you can share them with friends and collaborated on the document!

Google Apps for Education

Google Apps for Education Provides a school district with options to manage users for teaching staff, administrative staff and students.

Office 365 - One Drive and Microsoft Office 2016
Collaboration and functionality combine to make this productivity tool perfect for the education setting. 

Google Sites

Google Sites has a Wikispaces feel with widget tools and easy website creations features without HTML coding. It is easy to use and you can have a website up in a matter of minutes!!

It looks like Google is moving its website creation into this product!!!

Weebly

Weebly has been my Web Development Tool of choice for several projects for my graduate work. Because it is easy to use and it is pretty. Yes I said pretty! I can make my information look sharp and attention getting. The only problem I have is the slow response time during development. But I love the results and it is FREE!

Ok here is a free tool I now pay for because when you love it you should support it. First I paid for my domain name. Not something I recommend for everyone but I have become known as Infolibrarian. I also will be adding the PRO support soon and will let you know what you get for your $$.

Wikis

Wikis are web areas that members can view and edit. This creates online areas for collaboration.  You can use a Wikispace for a website but the true beauty of a wiki is allowing others to add their thoughts, ideas and information on your page. More than a just a blog comment, your members can add content.

Wikispaces

Wikispaces

Infolibrarian at Wikispaces is an example of another wiki site tool.

CFF at CVSD!! is my wikispaces for my project in my district and it is part or a private label wikispace for CVSD

CV CFF Wikispaces is my current project to share new tools with my High School Staff! I have an imaged site on our School Districts Private Label TOO!

McGaw Wikispaces a slideshare flash/Powerpoint project on chapter seven of Diffusion of Innovations by Everett Rodgers for IDT 676

Private Label Wikispaces

CFF at CVSD!!is my wikispaces for my project in my district and it is part or a private label wikispace for CVSD

Wikispaces also offers Private Labeling with allows for inhouse administration of the wikispaces. This can be helpful to school districts looking to create student user accounts inhouse.  This is a for fee service but something that can be used for an entire school district and maybe well worth the cost.

Social Tools

Diigo

Social bookmarking in a collaborative environment. You can highlight text on the page and add annotations to provoke discussion. Sticky notes can be placed on pages and then shared with others. Diigo adds a whole new layer to the bookmark arena. Now you can belong to groups of educators who also bookmark and share their tagged sites with others. What makes it better than Google is the search results are likely to be more relevant to my needs because of who is in my social circle... educators!!!

Twitter

Making social connections. This is another social tool that can be tailored to your circle of educator friends. I have made friends and followers from around the world. I can't tell you how much this has helped connect me with other like minded persons.

FaceBook

Keep it professional... keep your mom as a friend and never say something you could not repeat to your mom or your child. 

Google Chrome

You can create profiles in Google Chrome so everyone in your family can use this awesome web browser without messing up anyone else's passwords.  Each profile will keep its own file of usernames and passwords. LOVE IT!
