Wiggio – Group Collaboration

What is Wiggio

WIGGIO is an amazing tool for group collaboration.

It’s completely private – to see what is in the group or join you must be invited via email or via a link.

Administrator sets what tools can be used – there are numerous tools at your disposal on Wiggio. Including video conferencing, telephone conferencing. Administrators can also set whether emails and phone numbers remain hidden.

Then, from here, the Administrator can then create a SUB GROUP.

EG: Teacher can add entire class to Wiggio, then, can separate the class into smaller groups to work on spearate items.

The teacher could even create a poll with all the different group subjects and have children nominate themselves to a group within Wiggio.

Here is a list of nine videos that walk through the features on Wiggio in more detail.
