Google Groups

Last week, I had the opportunity to work with a group on GOOGLE GROUPS.

Google Groups is similar to a discussion board, except it is all in one place. It is super easy to work on because you can access it from anywhere as long as you have a google account (FREE) and Internet capabilities.

Another really neat feature is that you can see what someone else in your group is adding/typing from your computer. This feature makes it simple to see your group's progress (as it is being made).

My group consisted of 4 members, and our project was to write a short story about anything that we wanted in a minimum of 150 words each. So, we created our group and designated a "story starter". We watched on our own computer screens as the story progressed, so that when it became out turn to add to the story, there was need to waste time reading the previous material, we had been WATCHING AS IT WAS WRITTEN!

Here is the story that we created below:
(Hope you like it!)

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT GOOGLE GROUPS!

IT WORKS GREAT WITH GROUP WRITING PROJECTS!
