Google Docs - 0 views

  •  
    Just in case someone has been living under a rock, I'm adding this. I can't tell you how many times people at work email files hundreds of times when we could all just collaborate in Google Docs. We used Google Hangouts to chat in former projects and could actually see when each other was typing something. Love it!

    I was really resistant to the idea of Google docs when it first came into being. Now, I am a convert. It is the most fabulously simple resource for working collaboratively.
  •  
    GoogleDocs can be incredibly useful but not everyone is on the google bandwagon. I know for me personally I use it when I need to and it is great when everyone is working synchronously as a team to develop content or a document. They have done a good job with their suite of products, i just wish when you copied and pasted from Office it wasn't so distorted.
  •  
    I agree, Google Docs is worth posting. I just heard yesterday (completely unconfirmed) that Google Docs in Boulder employs 1,000 people. for what it lacks in perfections, it also saves us from saving and potentially storing unfinished documents. As Martha would say, "It's a good thing."
  •  
    I agree with Jen. While GoogleDocs is a great time saver I wish you could do more with formatting, pasting, etc. The formatting also differs if you download the doc onto a Mac which can be a pain when working with a group. Overall, though I think it is a worthwhile collaborative tool.

    Good call. My team spent an entire meeting demonstrating how to use Live Meeting via Outlook, only to later find out that it costs our company each time we initiate a call. I mentioned Hangouts as an alternative, and nobody had any idea what I was talking about, despite the fact that all of my teammates have Gmail. Yikes! Sometimes its scary how much we don't know!

Google Apps Marketplace - Project Management - 0 views

    I know someone posted about google docs, but this resource contains many apps that can be used within the Google docs framework, so you can more easily collaborate, but still have a framework to start with.

The Sensible Project Manager - 0 views

  •  
    This site has a lot of great media resources. It includes two podcasts (a PM 101 for beginners and a more advanced one) which both have multiple casts. It also includes Google Hangouts that the host has put together, which speak to many topics related to Project Management. The Hangout pages include videos of the sessions, and suggested websites and books that came up during the videos. This is a great way to listen to experienced PMs and benefit from their list of recommended resources. An added bonus is that the site itself recommends related content and postings at the bottoms of pages, so you can easily browse around for information that interests you.
  •  
    This is a pretty neat concept. Have you used it much? I would be interested in hearing some first hand feedback - but maybe I'll check it out and then we can discuss further!
  •  
    Melissa, thanks for sharing I like the approach to search for resources that suits your specific needs.

    Wiggio is a free group collaboration tool that helps facilitate communication, document sharing and project execution. Some technical issues have been identified with this site which might prevent effective use of it's tools. Use with caution.

    I really enjoyed looking around Wiggio. I think I could use this in my classroom as well. I'm looking forward to using this site. :)
  •  
    What I enjoy the most about Wiggio is their ability to send text messages about deadlines for school projects. However, when trying to take full advantage of all their social connectivity components, I found myself running into issues with server lags. I think they probably still need more financial support or stability to increase the efficiency of their services.
  •  
    After using Wiggio for several weeks now, I do like some features, but the number of errors is obnoxious. It really reminds me of when I tried to use Google Wave in its final moments.

Zoho Projects - 1 views

    This is a web based project management tool that functions similarly to Smartsheet. There are a lot of bells and whistles, and it seems to be priced affordably starting at $20 a month. You can then pick and choose add on features for nominal pricing - choosing what you want and not having to pay for features you may not use. Managers can list milestones, tasks, subtasks, generate Gantt charts and resource charts, communicate using wikis, chats and forums and collaborate with others synchronously or asynchronously. Another neat feature is this cloud hosted technology integrates with Googledocs, Google calendar and gmail. This tool seems intuitive and offers many features worthy of looking into.
