Your study group should think about using Google Moderator to prepare for test

Study smarter especially when preparing for test. Google Moderator might be an asset to your study team. So what is it and how does it work?

Google Moderator is a web-based tool that a study group could set up a forum for one or more topics to which group members can post questions. Group members then can vote for the questions they think are important and would like to see addressed. So everyone in the group looks at all the questions and votes each question up or down. So there is a ranking applied here. The questions with the least votes don't make it.

You could then invite your teacher to post responses to each question or idea. But the real value of the tool is when the group cast votes for the ones that are found to be most interesting or relevant. (See the visual to exam what the voting process looks like). Those are the very ones that are likely to be on the test. See how the majority and collective brain contributes? By default this activity becomes a record of what information students have conquered and what questions should be explored further. President Barack Obama and his team has even used the Google Moderator. In college, you will be collaborating. At work, you will be collaborating. At church and in your personal organizations, you will be working with others. Learn how to do that productively with classes and exams now.

No man is an island.
