Reflection on Cloud Computing

Wechat:
For our group, we are beginners in the process of Cloud computing collaborative work. We are separated most of the time but we have to keep in contact to share ideas including one member does always have difficulties accessing Google. Therefore, though we tried emails and moodle, Wechat became our final choice of communication method almost for all the projects we collaborate.
We set up a group in Wechat as soon as we became a group and added each other as friends. It is convenient wherever and whenever on chatting for the assignments. Text, picture, audio and video are all the forms that we tried. We benefited from this cloud application a lot and will continue to use it for sure.
However, there are some disadvantages by use Wechat in communicating compare to some other collaborative applications such as google.doc or moodle. The most weak point for us to use Wechat is the record of our thoughts could not be kept as in a blog. Nevertheless, we just accept that we learn through the process. The second point is the availability limit of the document sharing with editing. The procedure of editing is not as convenient as on computers. Thirdly, pictures are not as clear as on computers. All in a word, Wechat is not suitable for works including documents and pictures so that it is not a good tool in education usage like for curriculum and pedagogy purpose.
Anyway, Wechat made us really as a group and shorten our distance when discussion.
In addition, we have group members used to practise Endnote and Dropbox. They are willing to share their experience for us all to learn. Hopefully we will discuss applications useful as many as possible and try to use some of them together in order to better develop our group's collaborating skills in near future.
