Today we used Mural as a tool to deploy the class into work groups where each group discussed a particular topic. The tool was pretty cool to use, however the mobile version was a little lack-luster.

Within my group we discussed work flows. It was interesting to hear my peers walk me trhhough their work flows as both a student and a future teacher. Many were using Google Docs however some were using OneNote and similar applications. I am a little old school and prefer the pen and paper method, however it was interesting to see how capable and transferable (on different devices) some of these new applications were. The Google Docs one really resonated with me for I want to use Google Classroom as a teacher which in turn perfectly translates over to Google Docs.

Mural was a great tool for “up voting” student topics which then creates more “buy in” from the students on the content.
