Editor's Notes
- I rely heavily on teams in my classes. There are lots of class projects.
- All things I’ve done to foster team work have been punitive. Needed positive reinforcement.
- I wanted to see if I could foster teamwork in my classes.
- Foster communication Closed messaging app for teams Seeks to replace email Chat channels – public / private
- Source: Business Insider article: “Messaging apps are now bigger than social networks” http://www.businessinsider.com/the-messaging-app-report-2015-11 Whatsapp Kik FB Messenger
- 2 big headlines for the bot app market on Facebook and Kik. Think of it like the app store market – outside developers create, and you can download them to use.

- Chats respond with structured messages that include images, links and call to action buttons. These could let users make a restaurant reservation, review an e-commerce order and more. You can swipe through product carousels and pop out to the web to pay for a purchase. Importantly, Facebook’s Messenger Platform currently doesn’t allow payments directly through a credit card added to Messenger.
- Hey Taco is also great, a little better. But strewth has a stricter privacy policy.
- Open Agora has strict privacy settings. Doesn’t share info with advertisers.
- Why class is using it: To foster team collaboration To help prepare them for dispersed workforce of the future – working with project management and messaging software.
