Collaboration

= Collaboration Tools =

1) [|Scriblink]
 * ==== DESCRIPTION: Scriblink is a virtual whiteboard that allows users to share notes, drawings, graphic organizers, etc in real-time. Not only is Scriblink free, it is also a great tool for collaboration. ====
 * ==== HOW IT COULD BE USED: Scriblink could be a great collaboration tool for my wiki because it could allow others to ask questions about the different resources I am posting on here, as I am posting them. I often forget to go back and check discussion board comments about work that I have already completed, but this tool would notify me (with the use of an instant messaging capability) if someone had a question or comment right away. ====

2) [|Scribblar]
 * DESCRIPTION: Like Scriblink, Scribblar is also a virtual whiteboard. However, this tool is only for images and drawings. Scribblar allows you to collaborate through instant messaging, but real-time chat with your voice is also possible.
 * HOW IT COULD BE USED: I thought scribblar would be a great option for screenshots that are posted to wikis. People could let you know immediately if they were having problems viewing the screenshot or had questions about locating something on the page.

3) [|Postica]
 * DESCRIPTION: Postica allows users to post, share, and edit virtual sticky notes! This tool saves your notes so no matter what computer you use, they will still be there. You can also share your sticky notes with others. Bonus: you can also send sticky notes using Twitter.
 * HOW IT COULD BE USED: This could be used in the same way as the other collaborative tools by placing sticky notes on classmate's wikis if you have a question or a comment. However, it would also like to use it for myself to help me remember things that need to be added to my wiki later or things that I might not have time for at that moment, but want to include later.
