Thing #13

Online word processing applications are a wonderful tool. I love the universal use to the program. More than once I have had trouble presenting a document that I created at home, because the formatting is not the same. I have also forgotten to print off a document from home, and turned assignments in late. With these types of application, those problems are non existent. I personally use Google Docs quite frequently. For a group assignment, we set up a document for the four of us, so that outside of our group meetings, people could work on the project.

Zoho Writer seems to be quite similiar to Google Docs. It has most of the features of Microsoft Office, including word processing, spreadsheets, and slide show. The features within these programs are comparable, such as double spacing, font types, and position. This is an application I did not existed, and I will put use to it in the future.

This would be a great site to use for keeping student work in a location where parents could look at it later, or so the student could work on it at home or school with ease.
