What were the disadvantages to using the web conferencing tool to discuss this project?
This was interesting. I had tried to use Yugma to get us all together, but I had trouble inviting my group to join. It kept pulling up an outdated e-mail that my school no longer uses. I saved it so I could show my tech. coordinator. So then I joined acrobat to use adobe. This worked out better because it gave a url that I could use to invite Tom and Reaz to our meeting. Our first meeting didn't go so well. Tom and I were in the meeting, but adobe would not let Reaz join us. So we ended up communicating with Reaz through e-mail and a document Tom typed up in Google docs. You can see in the screen shot below, which I took at the end of our meeting, Reaz's message about not being able to join us.
Our second meeting went better. As you can see by the screen shots below, we used Skype this time. We actually tried to use Adobe again, but Reaz had trouble again. This time we were all on, Reaz could hear us, but we couldn't h
ear or see him. So we decided to leave and use Skype 
for the meeting. Skype worked really well. We could hear each other clearly and I learned how to chat on Skype, which I had never done before. The other thing is, we have screen shots because we couldn't record. Adobe didn't have a way for me to record us using the free session (or I couldn't find it), and Skype doesn't have a way to record. If it does, none of our group has done it before.
We did get the job done, however. We will be teaching about Google Apps, using Jing to make screen shots, and will be putting this information into a shared Google document. Tom will be working on putting our screen shots and scripts into Celtx for our storyboard portion. Each member of our group is researching different parts of Google Apps and making slides for our presentation. We all have our jobs and timeline set through next Saturday. So far, so good!! :>)
