Team work icluding online collaboration is a new normal in education and in work place.Thanks to tools such as padlet or popplet my students do not need to be cut off from each other while working on a joint project. They can share their knowledge, support each other and keep their team work on track.
POPPLET http://popplet.com/ – a very intuitive and user friendly application for mind-mapping and presentations. Uses a range of media – word/pdf/jpg documents or videos. Available as a mob
ile app as well. Ideal for individual and group projects and short presentations.
This is an example of a collaborative project The Royal Mile Museums (a trip, worksheets, a popplet presentation)prepared by NC4 ESOL for Employability students –

MY OPINION: 5/5
PADLET https://padlet.com – another great tool especially for collaborative projects. Uses a range of media – word/pdf/jpg documents, videos or audio files. Available as a mobile app as well.

SCCOP.IT – http://www.scoop.it/ – an excellent tool for collecting (scooping) material online. Excellent for research. This is a screenshot of my scoop.it with 5 different topics (highlighted). The program collects what is available online related to the chosen topic.
Unfortunately, now you can create only one topic for scooping (used to be 5).
NC4 ESOL for Employability students set up their accounts to search the materials on Scottish Traditions. This how their scoops might look like:
