Collaboration's Beginnings

Work has begun on the instruction set for Google Drive. Two others have submitted some work. Unfortunately, one wasn't exactly an instruction set, but rather paragraphs of text saying what to do. In my mind, an instruction set is accompanied by many images, with bullets of short commanding sentences.

The other student that submitted work did so through Word and not Google Drive, so unfortunately for him, the work will not copy over to Drive 100%. It will probably have to be re-typed. I redid the one student's work that wrote the paragraphs, and converted it into short bullets and added pictures of what the bullets are talking about through use of the Window's snipping tool.

After that, I did two more sections of the document, on sharing and creating tables, and re-emailed the link to the drive document to all the students so they may all see what an instructional document is supposed to look like. Nothing to do now but wait and hope that others do some more parts :)

Here's the link to the Google Drive doc that is intended to be the final product... eventually.

Group projects are usually daunting tasks when trying to collaborate with people that have constricted schedules, such as myself. Then try to do with people in other countries... interested/scared to see how this all pans out.
