One of my favourite mobile collaboration tools that not many people may have heard of is Redpen. Redpen is a tool initially created for mobile collaboration of designers. The app allows you to upload design revisions, and peers are able to click and comment on specific parts of your design. Each posted note can receive additional comments and feedback, and others reviewing the document can add their own 'likes' to posted comments. Users can upload drafts of designs onto previous revisions in order to compare versions. It's a really useful tool that can be used on desktop or mobile, and is fantastic for collaboration. I think it could have many useful implications for non-designers in a classroom, and allow peers working together in group settings to collaborate and share ideas and updates.

When I think of mobile collaboration I think of tools that allow us to connect with one another with the purpose of working towards a common goal. There area wide array of tools that come to mind. I think of Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive that give users vast abilities to collaborate. I think of Slack, Asana, Padlet, Google Hangouts, and Whatsapp. I also think of social media such as Reddit, Facebook and Linkedin. I think of communities of practice that have been setup on mobile platforms.

All of these tools are available on desktop however their collaborative affordances are maximized when using a mobile device. For many, their mobile device is accessible for the majority of their waking hours (and sleeping hours too!) allowing for easy access at all times and are more likely to see notifications that are pushed to them.

When I think of mobile collaboration, I think of endless possibilities and opportunities not just to learn but to interact with different peoples across the globe. This type of interaction has increased my knowledge because I get to communicate with a diverse group of individuals and share different perspectives. For example, in my MET courses I have had the opportunity to interact with people from Oman, China, Costa Rica, and France not to mention all the individuals who were traveling while studying in the program. Throughout my MET journey, I have used countless tools for collaboration such as Google Hangouts, Google Docs, Slack, and many others. Through mobile devices, I am able to have access to conversations with group members any time and keep up to date with any changes that may be happening. I think of the flexibility that mobile collaboration allows us and how it encourages a learning environment where users can synergistically communicate to solve problems.

I have used both OneNote and Blackboard Collaborate, to varying degrees of success, with my grade 8 English students. I have had students collaboratively write and edit material.

I would love to have students from different disciplines, parts of the world, or even ages, work collaboratively on larger projects.  The promises of the technology were considerably bigger than my utilization.

The process of collaboration needs to be taught - it's not automatic for most children.  In Grade 4, we spend time talking about how to work as a group on a shared Google Document.  They love the chat feature, getting so wrapped up in that they forget where their content is supposed to end up.  And they'll use the chat feature even when sitting next to each other.

Like many others here, I think of the Google suite of apps (Google Docs, Hangouts, etc.), which have been so instrumental in allowing us to work together in the MET program. Google Slides was also instrumental when I was working as an instructional designer as it allowed my team to work together on course drafts .

Another thing that comes to mind when I think of mobile collaboration is social media. In a way, people are working together through a process of posting and receiving feedback.

I would love to say that when I think about collaboration I see video chatting amongst my colleagues from thousands of kilometers away. I have experienced using applications such as Google Hangouts, when engaged in courses such as these before. However, the extend to my mobile collaboration experiences in my day-to-day profession involves the sharing of lesson plans through Google Docs. Granted this method is much more efficient
than using pen and paper, but I wonder if we could be doing something more. That being said I  wonder to what extent something comes benefits and when it becomes simply using technology for the sake of using technology.

Google Suite.
In primary we have adapted google products. So collaboration within this platform is essential. even primary can share a document that a group might e working with for a feed back or using google slides in order to present to the class a topic. Collaboration within the mobile technology that we are experiencing now through google is very easy and very effective.
off course we cannot forget that google emails makes it very secure to share thoughts and send emails between peers too within the school -google server. sharing the calendar for event and due dates is very important to make the students life very easy. Google forum makes collaboration an authentic experience so you can hear from your students anonymously. I am fan of Google Suite

Like the rest of the group, the Google Apps play a big role in my view of mobile collaboration (both for MET and my freelance work), but taking a step back what strikes me about mobile collaboration is how easily we jump from one app or medium to another. When my A2 group had our first meeting, we coordinated it over gmail, followed up in chat, launched the call in skype, and then switched to hangouts. Being able to share links to resources or share screens enriches the possibilities of what mobile collaboration can entail.

Google Suites has been mentioned quite a few times, so I'll suggest how much I see students IM to organize themselves. They use it like an extended voice in real time.  Despite being all over the school (and neighbourhood) they are connecting and working together synchronously.

I think of how mobile technology can connect students and teachers globally with other students and teachers and experts to learn from each other and gain insights from multiple perspectives. Cultural sensitivity and good multicultural communication skills are going to become an increasingly important skill.

I think of mobile apps that allow us to connect and work together. I think of things like Slack for communication, Google Docs for easy collaboration and Asana for project management.

I started using slack last term and I found it a brilliant tool for collaboration. It's very simple and intuitive but has a lot of additional features that hangouts, whatsapp etc don't have. It's well designed for project work.

I work as a primary teacher so my experience with mobile collaboration may be vastly different from others. Most of my mobile collaboration has been situated within the MET experience. With that in mind, I particularly think about some of the communication tools that we have employed, including Google Docs, Google Hangouts, etc.  Since collaboration has been such a key concept in our program, it is these specific activities that reinforce the effectiveness of mobile collaboration.

Thanks, Dan Edwards

I work in a distributed team (mostly across North America), but also connecting with Europe. Having tools for both desktop and mobile collaboration is critical. Tools that we use include the office365 suite (also known as the MS version of the Google Suite) - that gives us cloud storage, sharepoint, MS Teams, etc. MS Teams (MS version of Slack) lets us have teams, channels, threaded discussions, share files and also make calls and video.

And as a student - I find that my "teams" tend to rally around Google really quickly - and we've been experimenting with Slack.

That's all the good stuff. The bad and the ugly? Poor internet connections, poor audio set up (microphones, headphones, etc... are good and cheap), dogs barking, delays in audio where everyone ends up talking over one another, and the times where things just don't work (or maybe it is user error!).

Like many others I think of the Google apps when I think mobile collaboration. The suite works so nicely together. Drive, Docs, Hangouts! Our official collaboration tool where I work is OneDrive, which I don't care for as much. I don't find it as intuitive and user friendly as the Googs

At our school, each grade level is responsible for coming up with a new set of exams each term so we often divide and conquer. I usually take on the math exam and after completing some new problem solving questions, I'll share them by messenger or email as a word doc. What we ought to do is use a something like Google docs so people could add comments and make corrections in real time. Even the final process of signing off on each exam is tedious without each person able to see the latest version all at once. We often end up with problems that stem from printing one of the three or four "Final Drafts" that get floated out by email.

One app that I am dependent on for my daily activities is Google Keep - I share lists with my family and friends to keep my life organized. I can be in the grocery store as my husband is updating the list from home. It is a time saver

Now that audio recording's easier than ever, it's great that musicians can share quick clips of sound to speed up real-time rehearsals and studio sessions. Being able to record anywhere also means that the great idea you hummed at 2:30AM can be preserved and shared.

Mobile Collaboration for MET Group Projects

Last semester, I was in a group of five people, each living in a different time zone: Calgary, Toronto, London, South Africa, Taiwan. It quickly became clear that synchronous meetings weren't going to be easily organized. We ended up having a never-ending text-based Google Hangout; installing that app on my phone meant we could ask or answer questions quickly without being confined to desktop time. Having a text record of everyone's contribution meant we could catch up on anything we'd missed. It was surprising how easily we communicated!

Henna Patel: Google docs/sheets/hangouts & Slack. I find these collaborative tools invaluable for their ability to engage, edit, track, share files, converse and be creative in real time for work stuff. I also often wish there as an effective mobile brainstorming application. This would be really great in my line of work. I have tried a few, but none have really stuck as a go-to concept generation.

Like others have mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of mobile collaboration is Google Docs, Drive and Hangouts. I wouldn't have been able to get through most of my MET courses without them.

I think of online communities or forums.  ScratchEd and Alice have great resources and forums to get and share ideas.  What I love about it is that it's not necessarily another professionally trained educator, in fact sometimes i'm watching Youtube videos or reading instructional posts from kids as young as 10.
