Web-Conferencing

Our group used both vyew.com and Googledocs to do web-conferencing. We found that while vyew.com had more functionality as far as communication went we had some technical problems with it. Vyew.com offered web and audio chat which was a nice plus but not all group members had webcams or microphones. The second time we met we used Googledocs and although we weren't able to video chat the sharing of documents went much smoother and we were able to communicate without any problems using the IM feature. For our future meetings we will use Googledocs as it provides a greater comfort level for the group members. I plan on using either vyew.com or Skype in my classroom during the implementation phase of my Wicked Problem Project, this will allow for quick and clear communication for team members in different schools.
