Notes:

I like any of the Google products. Their ease of use and ease of access makes them user friendly for most. I
don’t know what ages can follow these directions easily. Lower elementary grades should be able to use the
app, but the directions would need to be adapted for them. Free is always good for any app.

Notes:

After meeting with my group members, I felt that we worked well together. We each took turns discussing our
apps and each team member was respectful and encouraging to the group. The three apps that we chose seemed
to be good choices for collaborative work for students. Each one was a good mix for different age ranges. The

5
 TLED 430 Module 3 Michele Greear Collaborative Assignment
discussion helped us to understand the positives and negatives of each app and how we could work with the
students to ensure their success. I would be pleased to work with this group again in the future.
