[nabs-l] Best techniques for group computer science projects

[Suzanne Germano]

We have already divided the work It is at the point where it is all being
put together so we are working together to get it all correct.

Maybe the zoom text bar might work but I never use it because I am used to
working alone and I want everything visible.

I am wondering if we could do something similar to gotomeeting so I could
see their screen and then zoom in as needed
