BP8_20091113_ProducteevWeb2.0


Producteev is a multi-channel, group productivity application with so many features that you’d have to see it for yourself. The main benefit of this Web. 2.0 application is the ability to collaborate on any task with multiple users with a variety of tools available to help you stay on track and to communicate with other group members. While I can definitely see the benefit that this tool would lend to businesses, I also feel that it would be a beneficial tool for group projects for middle school students and up. Tasks can be assigned to certain group members and timelines created in order to keep everyone on track. Any files needed to complete the project can be uploaded to the files tab, very useful for educators who would like to share project instructions or other resources with their students. The progression bar is one of my particular favorites as it allows any user assigned to a task to visually assess how far along the project is coming. Comments tabs allow users to discuss the project all in one place. The Live Feed tab keeps everyone in the know by showing what all users have added, completed, uploaded, etc while also allowing users to post customized status updates (similar to Facebook). In a 9th grade English class where students are required to lead a seminar on the last book they’ve read, students are assigned various roles. The teacher uses Producteev to assign each student tasks. To monitor the progress of the projects, to offer comments and suggestions as necessary in the comments tab and to view the files that the students have uploaded as well as set deadlines and send reminders. This would be great for students who are doing most of their research from home, the school library, the public library etc. where any user may access the tool as long as they are connected to the internet.
