Collaboration Tools

This was a fun one! Wiggio sounds interesting. I would like to explore Wiggio to see if it is something that I can use to help my digital life run more efficiently. WallWisher was a neat forum to be able to get others thoughts on a subject. It was easy enough to contribute to. I would have to go through the process of creating my own wall to see if it would be a tool that I could use, but it was fun to be part of the conversation. I am also curious about how Twitter works and how the one individual got so many replies from a tweet on his WallWisher wall/board (wherever you call it - I haven't quite got all the lingo down yet). The other collaboration tool I am extremely interested in learning to use for many reasons (professional and personal) is Skype. I had quite a bit of exposure to Skype this summer. I got to chat with and/or see my daughters boyfriend daily as they Skyped. They also played all kinds of online games against each other while skyping. They had a great time. I also met the boyfriend's parents on Skype. It was an interesting event. This is what I mean when I say our children are living in the digital age. Those of you who have younger children may be experiencing it in a different way because you have some say in how technology plays out for them right now. It won't be long before you will depend on technology to keep you connected to your children and their world. Last but not least Whiteboard was a fun and easy forum to participate in.
