PSU TeamSpot Introduction
Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology has installed a Mac TeamSpot Host Computer within the The Immersive Environments Lab located in room 208 Stuckeman (photo available). What's TeamSpot you might ask? Quoting Tidebreak's web site:
TeamSpot software is the cross-platform digital infrastructure that helps teams actively work together. TeamSpot creates collaboration zones where groups can explore information in real-time and interactively co-create digital work products, dramatically changing the group collaboration dynamic. TeamSpot lowers barriers to team interaction, increasing creative productivity while actively engaging the entire team to help build consensus around end results.TeamSpot enables groups to:
- Work together on large public display screens while interacting from personal laptops
- Easily move files between computers by dragging and dropping
- Copy and paste URLs, images, or text snippets across computers
- Easily discover and share online materials and real-time data
- Automatically create a take-away archive of shared information
- Work on parallel tasks and then rapidly integrate the results
