This workshop will explore exciting new technologies that allow team members to create, modify, and share documents, files and presentations in real-time no matter where each of the members are located. These new tools come with many innovative functionalities, such as enabling the user to embed a document in a web page or a video in a presentation.  We will also consider new technologies that help the user visualize data in ways that bring it to life for students, for example, displaying changes over time.  These tools are cutting-edge means of promoting community learning.
