Tidebreak Software for Collaboration and Teamwork
Creative Library Concepts is pleased to have become a re-seller for Tidebreak software. Tidebreak is a Silicon Valley software company that has developed a ground-breaking new suite of collaboration software products called TeamSpot and ClassSpot. These unique products enable groups of students or library patrons to electronically share documents and data from their laptop or mobile device on a large screen – without the need for a projector. Here is how the product works:| Shared Interactive Worksurfaces | Information Mobility | Distributing Results |

| Everyone works together on the shared common screen, using their keyboard and mouse to control it. They can switch easily between this screen and their own laptop, working in parallel and then rapidly integrate their contributions with the shared result. This is more productive than approaches where one person controls the screen while others can only watch. | It’s simple to move information across devices. Groups can copy and paste text between computers, collect drawings from a physical whiteboard, or collectively browse the Web, then share to a common worksurface, to individuals, or the entire group. Teams can explore ideas in real-time and immediately apply them to project work. | Tidebreak solutions make it easy to collect and disseminate the results of the session, including notes, websites, drawings, as well as final documents. All shared items are captured automatically while the group works. The archive can be saved to each person’s hard disk or webspace. |
Here are some user comments:
Daniel Green, Manager of Student Technology at Ross Business School at Michigan University.
Green, promoted TeamSpot to students with the belief that “if I can get a few teams to try this exceptional tool, I know it will easily promote itself.” As expected, after a few different groups tried out TeamSpot “the numbers have grown rapidly with increased use every year.” Dan reports that some students were so excited that they offered to help evangelize and train the incoming class of first-year MBA students on how to use TeamSpot.
Students at Ross Business School
“TeamSpot is a great tool that takes hours off of our projects. It is as easy to use as it is to learn. TeamSpot lets us present our ideas and contribute content into a single project document.”
Teamspot software will dramatically improve the learning process for your students and library patrons. Please visit http://www.tidebreak.com/products/demo for an interactive demo, and please contact Creative Library Concepts for any additional information and pricing.
