I would love more collaborative educational gaming tools. I think one of the best ways to get through to students and lower their affective filter is through play. One example that comes to mind is Prodigy- a "gamefied" math learning platform. My tool would be high quality, standards based and focused on grouping according to level. I also imagine having some component that includes a translator so that students can collaborate across language barriers as well.

I'm still very intrigued by MURAL, although I haven't been able to test the features yet. If it works the way that I hope it does, it would really allow for people to have a collaborative workspace that is similar to working in person. I don't miss going into the office, but I do miss being able to workshop ideas with a whiteboard, post-it notes, and even sharing media.
So I would say that my collaboration tools would at least have that functionality. I dynamic whiteboard simulation experience, and one that people could use simultaneously. The version on Zoom currently is suboptimal. I like the idea that people could also maybe duplicate/save the whiteboard for their own purposes and solo brainstorming, but they should be able to also then share that with the other team mates in an iterative fashion.

I would love a tool that would help us create something with another class somewhere else in the world. It would have multiple ways of communicating built in: video messaging, chatting, commenting on others' idea...I'd love to collaborate on a product with another class in a way that we couldn't accidentally alter their work, but our work could be brought together somehow!

I would definitely develop a tool that law enforcement officers can use in the field. It would be called 10-20. 10-20 is the police radio code for location. As an officer, a car chase can turn into a foot chase at any given moment. Police cars have GPS but once an officer is on foot, the only way to pinpoint their location is if its given to the dispatcher via radio. 10-20 would be a gps tracker that an officer can install on their work mobile device and should an officer get in an unfortunate situation away from his patrol car and he's unable to speak into his radio, the gps tracker can pinpoint his/her exact location and send backup and EMS. If the officer leaves their phone in the car, the app would be connected to their bodycam and still work the same way. It sounds far fetched but I feel it would save many lives in the field.

I want to design a tool named "brainstorm your ridiculous idea", it is more like a funny discuss&share room but not a serious academic information domain. We just share playful ideas for fun, you can post it when you had a brainwave. And others can not only click "like it" but also help to to further develop this idea. It just help you make life pleasant, there are no requirements.

I am more of an end user then a designer. I must say, I was forced to learn various digital tools in a short period of time. As we moved from traditional classroom to digital classroom, I had to update myself with technology. Some of the digital collaborative tools that I have used in the last year are Paddle, Nearpod, google classroom, edpuzzle.  The use of these digital tools sometimes limits my opportunity to provide feedback, or grade student work. I would like to design a collaborative that would have features of paddlet, nearpod and easy to grade and provide feedback.

This is Robert Pacheco.

I am not so much a design person as I am a high end user. So, I would like to answer the question as what I would do as a high end user. I would use Padlet as a tool to conduct real time faculty meetings and expose the faculty to the tool to encourage use in the classroom. I work in the community college setting so faculty only communicate with students 1, 2 and rarely 3 times a week. So, the daily connection that happens in k-12 is missing.  This would be a great way for college faculty to communicate with students asynchronously and with each other (faculty have different schedules and teaching times).  In this COVID world it could be a great way to connect when together and between meetings - and then letting this exposure encourage faculty to pollenate their own classrooms.

I would design an online collab-tool for grades 10-12 which roughly combines the features of Piazza & Padlet. Under the Resources drop-down menu at the top of my Piazza-like homepage interface, I would place a General  tab option which links to my Padlet-like wall. I would design these two to retain similar features as their sources of inspiration. This would work well for projects that were running the entire term in the background of daily class activities. I would need more time to ruminate over the specific idiosyncratic features which would be augmentations of the features of Piazza and Padlet. These two allow for open-ended collaboration without excess complexity, but an ideal fusion would retain this aspect while expanding upon it in a way that encourages users to explore the full range of features.

I believe if I were to create my own collaboration tool, I think I would create a tool that have all the potential ideas from my team in alphabetical order so that if we want to get back to a particular individual’s idea and explore his/her potential concept we would be able to.  If I were to do this I think I would be similar to Padlet and Canva, which would offer individuals the ability to create the necessary boards/pages for their particular idea that they want to share with their whole team and get their team’s input.  I believe that we have far too many collaboration tools at our disposal and its hard to choose which one would work the best.  I'd like to store the ideas in a place that is easily accessible and not difficult to get to and navigate around. I believe it is essential have all the potential ideas in one place instead of scattered across numerous platforms because when they’re scattered it is difficult to remember what platform was used for creating a particular idea. It is better just to have all the potential ideas on one platform.

If I was able to design my own accounting collaboration tool, it would be an app that enables accounting and tax professionals to communicate via video calls/webinars and share ideas, research and interpretations of new guidelines and tax laws.
Currently, most large firms consult with their national team leads in each state to come together to formulate very complex answers.    However, at the middle market and small business levels a lot of practitioners are forced to subscribe to very expensive research software which requires annual subscriptions for each user. On top of this issue, half the time you get answers and examples that apply to larger clients at the national levels.
The app would allow users to post there issues, interpretations and problems to the community and have a set follow-up date which volunteers would answer there approach and rationale for treating it that way. The issue is a lot of "old school" firms do not necessarily want to share information/trade secrets because they view it as an opportunity to take your clients. This would really benefit a lot of sole proprietors and middle market firms that are looking to confirm there logic on the everchanging industry.

I think the best collaboration tool I would want to create is a tool that the students can work together on, but also be able to lock their work. I have students who work on Jamboard and on Google slides together, and they often delete other students' work or mess with other students' work. I really want students to be able to work together, but be able to lock their work from others being able to edit it, unless they unlock their work. For example, if someone is writing a section, the owner can lock that piece. Then when they finish another piece, they can lock that. I think it could be very effective!

Having taught kids in the K-12 program
of CPITS to write poetry, I would create a collaborative tool to engage & inspire them to brainstorm together, sharing ideas, photos, videos, to make their work livelier. Canva templates help them with designs, Pinterest photos have images to illustrate their poems, YouTube videos and Google Earth can take them travelling afar.
I have used "Geometry Playground" for students to choose "Circle, Square, Cross, Triangle, Spiral" in writing their poems. My "Geometrical Figures Compilation" with dozens of examples will stir students to action. If they are interesting in travel, "Literature Trips to Points of Inspiration" will offer another avenue for exploration.

I want to design a tool that helps organize allergies for dinners or other events. Users would create a profile -- their allergies or food preferences would not be attached to their name and the host would have a comprehensive list of what the groups needs are with a count.

If I was able to design my own collaboration tool, I would create a platform where students can easily communicate with each other as they are able to video edit together as well. There are many platforms out there where this exists, but the editing part does not have many options like the way Adobe Premiere Pro provides. As a video production teacher, I've seen this become difficult over this year. It would require a login so that it's not accessible to everyone. Students would be able to "add" a collaborator.

If I were to design my own collaboration tool, I would like for it to include the ease of collaboration such as with Google Slides and project workflow management like Trello. Participants can have easy access to all of their current projects and know exactly what they need to do to get started on their part. I also would design the tool to include the option of creating a private server room such as Discord for those who want to gather and have collaborative discussions. Although less informal, this is easier than having to schedule meetings and can help productivity. In addition, implementing templates and designs like Canva would help make the tool more creative and personalized. Together, all of the elements would create an ideal collaborative tool for students working on group projects from home.

I think that a collaboration tool that works like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" would be a great way for students to research, explore, and teach with their classmates. If they worked in teams, and created a learning experience for other students to follow, and that experience could use pictures, videos, and links; and then be made public, I could see this benefitting students from different backgrounds , and even students from all over the world.

If I were to design a collaborative tool, I would love to design some sort of interface where I could create a virtual filing cabinet that my team and I could add resources to.  I feel like I would want it to be a cross between Padlet and Pinterest, offering the ability to create boards/pages for different subjects or themes, but also the ability to add notes and comments for future reference.  I feel like we have so many resources and links that we always file away to come back to later, but never do.  I'd like a place to visually "store" them so we could scroll through them and search based on our needs. It would also be nice to have them housed in a single place so that we could all reference them as needed.

Here is my sample response!

I've learned so many collaboration tools in the last six months, it's hard to say what I would do if I were to design one, but I think it would have to include elements of Jamboard, Poddlet (mind maps), Canva for design, mural for project management and one of the tools like Gather, so that participants can gather in one or more rooms or discuss the project around the drinking fountain! In other words, it would be all-inclusive of the best elements of the above solutions.
