CEP 812 Part A: Brainstorm Session

     For our Group Leadership Project our group members attempted many avenues to brainstorm. We were unsuccessful with many. We tried Webhuddle with little to no avail. One of our group members had a difficult time accessing the site. We also were not very impressed with Graphical User Interface associated with the program. It felt out of date and difficult to use. While trying these different software programs we were all active in our live chat session on Angel. Next, we tried Yugma. Which would not have worked because you must have a paid account to allow more than three people to conference and have meetings longer than 15 minutes. We then tried Microsoft 365 and one of the group members had a difficult time accessing that site as well. After about 45 minutes of trial and error we decided to go with Skype. We were all able to access it very easily. Because we were using Skype we weren't really able to record the session so we Skyped and created a Google Doc for collaboration purposes. We also took random screenshots at different points during our brainstorm session.
     It was very advantageous for our group to use Skype simply because it seemed like it was the only software program we could get to work for every member of our group. We were able to video and voice conference with one another. Using Google Docs was also a benefit for our group because as we brainstormed in Skype we were able to collaboratively create a document.
     Below is the link to the Google Doc we created as a group. Within the Google Doc are three links that are screenshots of the brainstorming session we had and also the details of the project including assigned portions and a timeline for completion.
