As a group we used Adobe Connects and Google Hangout. We used Adobe Connects to record and take screen shots. The advantage to using this tool was the ability to record and the ease of use. It was easy to figure out where the pods were and how to use them. They were movable and it was easy to allow 3 people participate in the session. I really like the screen share ability so that all hosts can share information without having to email it.

 It was challenging for one of our group members to connect. She was on a Mac and had to log out and log back in several times before her sound was restored. This has happened in my classroom several times. The whiteboard is also a challenge. There are times when it works perfectly, and times when only the participants can see what is written. This does not always happen, but it is a glitch that is challenging inside of a classroom. It requires a plan B and C for the just in case it crashes moment.

Google Hangout also seemed relatively easy to use. All group members were able to log on without any glitches. It does not seem to have all the features of Adobe Connects, but it is free and just as great for the price. For the rest of our planning we will use Google Hangout.
