Thing 13!

I am very impressed with Zoho! This website could be used in collaboration with Microsoft products. When I do an assignment for school, I typically email the assignment to myself. This way I will be able to have the assignments or any material on any computer. I also print assignments when I get to campus. Zoho will allow me to upload my assignments onto the Internet in an organized way; therefore, they are all together. I can also create documents on Zoho which will allow me to type quick notes straight into the account. I could use this website for notes in class. Zoho will also be a great resource for when I am a teacher. I can save everything to this site, and I will always be able to access materials. This is extremely beneficial in case my computer crashes. I could also make to-do lists, create a calendar, and create a list of meetings.

Creating a Google document is very similar to creating a document on Microsoft Word. The program automatically saves documents for you. This is nice because it is very frustrating to lose unsaved work. I have never used this before, but I can definitely see myself using this in future. Students can also use Google documents to write papers and complete assignments. This way they can work from whatever computer is available. This will help eliminate excuses such as: “My computer crashed.” or “The file didn’t save. It’s on my computer at home.” Students can also share the links with their classmates to peer review papers before turning them in. Student's could using Google Drawing to create their own graphic organizer. The options to these tools are limitless. This is a great thing for teachers! :)
