Meeting online is an interesting experience. The simplest way I can think to describe it would be a watered down version of speaking face to face. My team and I used Face time after failing to use Facebook video. We took turns meeting with each other and delegating team assignments. Face time makes using hand gestures difficult unless you have a place to set your phone down, but other than that it works extremely well.
Almost our entire project was done using Google docs and power points. This made accessing the project and adding information easier at times that we couldn't meet as a group. Everything for our power point slides surprisingly turned out well; we didn't have to reformat anything. Luckily, Jeff in our group is an expert on using the Google drive tools, so that was a great resource for us.
It was a little different in the remote meetings! You were spot on in saying it is a watered down version of speaking face to face. As far as the Google Docs, those were extremely convenient for all of us. It helped us work on it even when we weren't able to meet as a group. It definitely helped/made things easier that our entire team contributed to the Google Doc as well!!
