Tired of crowding around one laptop? Find yourself doing most of the work on group projects? Tidebreak "Teamspot" is your answer to group project blues: Share the work, not your laptop. |
With Teamspot, groups can:
- Collaborate through shared desktop displayed on a large plasma screen, visible to all group members
- Easily share or move files, online materials and real-time data between computers via drag and drop
- Edit documents across computers by copying text from one computer and pasting it in on another.
