The Four C's in STEM: Communication with TitanPad

TitanPad is an online tool that allows students to craft a document simultaneously.  The beauty of this free online app is that each student s assigned a different color, so when each student types or edits, the text reflects their chosen highlight color.

While students work to build a document, they can chat on the right hand side of the screen to discuss possible edits, revisions,etc.  They can export to a text file, a PDF, or even export the file to finish it up in a word processing program like Microsoft Word. If necessary, students can even import a file to continue working.

One unique feature called Time Slider allows students to use a slider bar to playback the changes that were made. Although it is not packed with bells and whistles, it does provide the basics to enable student communication.
