Can Students Really Manage Their Work Online Now? The Newly Launched Site EntertheGroup.com Tries To Make That a Reality
The launch of EntertheGroup.com offers a new way for students work on group projects, manage their work and interact with teachers.
Online, October 26, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The people at Project Education Technologies ask 'Have you ever worked on a group project from hell?' They claim many of us have been there at some point and asked if there was a better way to do things. This was their motivation in launching their new site. It's called EntertheGroup.com and it launches today.
EntertheGroup.com provides students and teachers with great project management tools such as the ability to create their own group pages, event calendars, task management, project outlines, polls, checklists, file sharing and more. There are also important social networking features like blogging, instant messaging, a Q & A forum and Twitter feed.
The site enable teachers to create virtual classrooms which enable them to interact with students online, share handouts, post events (like exams) to a shared calendar, conduct polls and much more.
'Students typically complain about their group projects. Their biggest problems are free riders and group members who try to take over the group. Also, getting everyone organized and on the same page is problematic' says Sal Pellettieri, CEO of Project Education Technologies, creator of the website.
'I built this site so that students could learn project management techniques and integrate them into the classroom. I think that many students are overwhelmed by their work and I think that the tools and advice the site offers will help a lot' says Mr. Pellettieri.
An important feature of the site is that it's free. Users simply have to register and they will gain access to all of the tools and the library of articles at no charge.
'I wanted students to be able to make use of this site and it's unlikely they could pay for this service, so I made it free' says Mr. Pellettieri.
To get started with the site, users go to http://www.enterthegroup.com and click on Register Today. The site also has a blog, www.entertheblog.com, which discusses ideas related to project management and optimal performance.
For more information about the site please contact [email protected] or call (323) 332-6056.
