Part A- Brainstorming Session

We just completed our brainstorming session for the Professional Development project in CEP812.
1.  Our group used Vyew (www.vyew.com) as a tool to carry on our text conference about using Publisher to create a news letter. 
2.  There were a few advantages to using this conferencing tool.  First, it was easy to navigate and it was free.  I noticed how easy it was to use the side bar to add text, cut, paste, and also move the text.  Also, I liked that there was an option to record our voices if we chose to do it that way.  There were also ways to video ourselves, which we will be able to try out in the future.
3.  I can only think of one disadvantage to this web conferencing tool.  It was hard to follow the conversation at times. People have the opportunity to write all over the page, so we kept stopping so that we could organize the text.  I actually think it would have been easier to do an audio capture with it so that people could follow easier. 

Here is the link to our web conference using Vyew.
