This week has been one of the most challenging weeks in this class. The assignment the professor gave up was a complete nightmare for control freaks like myself. He sent us an e-mail saying that we had to do a presentation on "how to create an effective presentation." We had to incorporate everything about the topic and include different visual resources BUT we also had to do it as a group... the WHOLE group. The entire class was a participant in this Google Slides presentation assignment. We were all just doing our thing separately without even acknowledging one another but it was a disaster because some people were deleting each other's work and writing over others and it was just awful. More than 30 people adding stuff to a presentation at the same time was an experience i hope to never have again.
Even though that was a horrible experience, I have to say that the tool itself is pretty great for doing online presentations without having to meet face to face and having many people in a group... maybe not 30 but if you have about 5 people in a group it will work just fine and the communication will definitely be more effective that way.
