Drop.io’s Present.io is Cool

I’m finally playing catch up with my RSS feeds and I’m excited to say I’ve started flipping though the LONG lists of “new techs” be talked about in various blogs. Currently I’m reading through Free Technology for Teachers. Now I had already used Drop.io this past semester for my HUM/WST209: Women and Film course. But I was excited to read about that Drop.io had a presentation mode. I’ve played around with it a bit and basically it allows you to emphasize different posts, or drops, within the drop.io page. So it would work great to go over documents, etc. Drop.io also gives a conference call number for folks to be on a group call. This is not Elluminate or Adobe Connect (esp. no screen sharing capabilities); but it could work for stuff. Even if it just worked to demo how a group would continue to use Drop.io for a collaborative project.
