Emerging Technology 2: Wiggio

At our school, we have access to Angel which is a great site for allowing students to upload documents and interact with the teacher.  However, it is not so great when students are working on a group project, as they don't have the ability to edit each others' work.  For the next PBL unit I will be doing (probably in May), I wanted to have students use a website that provides them communal access.  Wiggio does just that, and can be found at www.wiggio.com.  It allows users to create a group, and everyone in that group has full access to view and edit.  Users can create a calendar, upload/create/edit files, check off to-do lists, and create polls to obtain the opinions of the group members.  I have provided a screen capture of what the main page looks like below.

You can create documents that all users have the ability to edit, similar to Google Docs.  However, the one drawback I see is that you are only able to create word documents and spreadsheets.  There is no presentation tool, so you would have to create your own PowerPoint document and then upload it to Wiggio.  Unfortunately, if your group members wanted to edit it they would have to download the document, make the changes, save the document, and then re-upload it.  This can be a hassle.  With that said, the next unit I am planning will not require students to create a presentation document, and so I think I am going to give this site a try and see how it goes with my students.
