One of the challenges that my group has faced while completing our project has arisen from the fact that Prezi, our platform of choice, does not allow multiple users to be in working on the presentation at the same time. The time zone differences within our group has actually proven to be advantageous. We have all signed up for specific dates and time frames that work well for us in which we will be accessing the Prezi project. I like this for two reasons; 1.) everyone has an equitable amount of time to access the presentation and 2.) the restricted time frame will keep everyone accountable for their portion of the assignment in a timely manner. We have also been meeting via Google Hangout throughout the creative process to be sure that we are all satisfied with the end product and to double check that we have met the assignment criteria to the best of our ability. Even though our presentation was created separately by four different people, I think that in the end, we were able to produce an informative and cohesive final product. The use of technology to collaborate on projects has definitely changed by opinion in regard to the value of group work.
