New Modes of Group Discussions: Innovative Applications of Google Cast Technology

1. Challenges in Traditional Discussions

Presentation Limitations

• Inconvenient display of results (relying on verbal descriptions or simple handwritten notes).
• Single form of content (lack of integration with multimedia elements like videos or dynamic charts).
• Insufficient depth of interaction (difficulty in real-time feedback on ideas or opinions).

Collaboration Barriers

• Low efficiency in information transmission (delays when sharing ideas between group members).
• Difficulty in recording discussions (important viewpoints are easily missed or forgotten).
• Tedious result integration (time-consuming to summarize scattered opinions into coherent conclusions).

2. Technical Solutions

Multi-Screen Collaboration

• Independent group presentations (each group displays progress and ideas on its dedicated screen via Google Cast).
• Real-time content sharing (seamless synchronization of materials across devices within and between groups).
• Rapid integration of viewpoints (one-click aggregation of multi-group results for comprehensive analysis).

Deepened Interaction

• Real-time annotation and discussion (direct marking or commenting on cast content to clarify opinions).
• Multi-angle comparative analysis (side-by-side display of different groups’ solutions to highlight differences).
• In-depth collision of ideas (visualization of thinking processes through cast content to inspire new perspectives).

3. Implementation Strategies

• Design scientific discussion processes (clear stages: task assignment → group discussion → result casting → collective review).
• Provide user-friendly technical tools (simplified Google Cast operation steps to reduce technical barriers).
• Establish effective evaluation mechanisms (assess both group outcomes and collaboration processes through cast content records).
