Thing 13

Zoho Writer
Google Doc 
Google Doc in Spanish
 
I created a free account with Zoho Writer; and was able to access Google Docs through my gmail account. Zoho Writer and Google Docs both have many great features/tools for creating documents. The Zoho Writer was confusing at first and when I added an image it did not go so well for me. The text and image of my document created with Zoho Writer shifted when it was made available for public view. Google Docs was very user friendly; inserting an image and translating my document were every simple to do. I did not have any format problems with Google Docs when my document was made public. I prefer Google Docs, it is simple to use and I believe it would be great for a beginner. I think Google Docs would be a wonderful application for students to work collaboratively. Work created in Google Docs can be accessed from any computer, without the need of special software. The students working together can edit or leave comments on their work in Google Docs and this may help avoid losing important updates that could be lost from sending work back and forth via email or saving work to a portable devices.
