Today I created a Google group to look at what features and tools were available for students to see if it might be a suitable workspace for students to collaborate on group tasks.

This is a private group – following info for my reference.

Group address: http://groups.google.com/group/man3655-2009

Group email: man3655-2009@googlegroups.com 

Features:

  • upload files
  • email
  • create pages
I need to explore further before I make a decision.
I also played around with Grouply – a tool for managing a number of groups (eg: Yahoo or Google groups). Now that I’ve created a google group I should be able to add it to my Grouply site.  Still exploring this.
