Scott, Dan and myself decided to focus on Moodle as our technology to present. Through brainstorming we found that all of us have had experience using the site and can gain access to it for our project.
We used a couple different conferencing tools for brain storming:
· We used the forum group set for us in Angel for preliminary planning and scheduling a time for all of use to get together.
· On Sunday morning and evening we used an Adobe Meeting room to make plans for our project and to decide who was going to do what for the project.
· Throughout the brainstorming process we posted our ideas to a google doc.
The advantages to using a Adobe Meeting room to discuss the project was that we could meet face to face to discuss ideas and we could share our computer screens with each other to demonstrate ideas and show examples.
The main disadvantage of using the web conference tool was finding a common time that they 3 of us could get together to be on at the same time. Though this is something that has to be dealt with in any group work.
Adobe Connect could be used to connects students to other classrooms around the world, it can also be used to connect students content experts (for example, if I wanted to have a guest speaker about genetics for my biology class I could). Lastly, it can be used to teach lessons from home. I say this because, there were a few days this winter that I couldn't get to work because the roads were so bad (I drive about 45 minutes to work everyday) so I had to call in, this would remedy the problem of me not being in the classroom.

Here are links to our first and second brain storming sessions.
Session 1 (I was unable to make it to this one, but it was nice that I could go back and watch it, that allowed me to go back and make comments on our google doc)
