Task 1: Lead an Online Presentation:

Google Docs or Prezi. 

Both allow quick and easy slideshow creation without the worry of having to be too skilled in any specific program. Google Slides is a staunch reflection of powerpoint anyways so most people won’t have any issue using it.

 

Task 2: Aggregate Study Materials:

Google Drive or Dropbox

Both allow the storage of files, pictures and links, and can be shared between many different people, such as an economics class. Google docs especially makes it easy for many online resources to have a shared space with files in the fact that google drive allows links to be hosted directly on the page.

 

Task 3: Tour of Berlin

Google Maps/Earth or plotaroute.com

Both of these tools allows for the creation of specific paths throughout the city and are easily shareable, especially in the google maps ability to download the map file itself. Google earth and maps both have a street view feature, which allows more immersion into the virtual tour without having to switch programs.

 

Task 4: Collaborative Research Project.

Google Docs and Webex

Google docs allows the paper itself to be collaborated on by the entire group, while a service like webex can facilitate groupwide communication and collaboration on the project itself, whether that is writing or researching the topic.
