Collaborative Productivity Apps
Collaborative productivity apps allow students to create, manage, share, edit, review, critique, hack, re-mix, and submit information, either as part of a team or individually. The best productivity apps facilitate communication and collaboration on documents, presentations, brainstorming sessions, research, databases, visuals, multimedia, and more. In an education setting, they also provide for whole class and/or group management, including sharing of assessment and feedback between teacher and individual learner or teacher and group. Most productivity suites, which contain a full complement of individual apps, also provide for cloud storage of created artifacts. On this page, two of the most common and widely-used productivity suites, Google Apps for Education and Microsoft Office 365, are profiled.
