Thing # 13

I have explored both Zoho Writer and Google Docs and discovered that Zoho Writer is like Window Office , only Zoho is connected directly to the Internet which allows me to connect to my documents from any computer I may be using.  Also, on Zoho, if my computer goes down or crashes, my document will be saved and I can access it from another computer and continue to work on the document.  This would be a very useful asset and it also makes it easier to work on documents and send it to others.  It is also possible to allow other people to edit my writing, but it would take some time to get use to Zoho's differences from Office. 
I thought that Google Docs was a very helpful resource. I used Google Docs to create an excel and it was just like the Windows Excel, which helped to figure out how to use it.  One difference was that you needed to make sure you know how to use the formulas because the Google Docs excel doesn't do it automatically.  I used the Edit form and created a test with multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank, etc, and it was very easy to use.  There were also different backgrounds to choose from to apply to my test.
Google Docs was easy to use and students could use it for projects in the classroom.  They would also be able to use it at home if they have the Internet.  I prefer Google Docs to Zoho because I was already familiar with Google and understood all the options easier.  It would be more convenient for me to use Google instead of learning Zoho, but I can see where it might be very useful sometimes.
