Zoho Writer has a lot of useful features that allow users to be very productive. It has features that allow you to create spreadsheets/databases, word documents, and slideshow presentations. It also allows the user to create folders for organizing documents, adding groups for collaboration, and create work spaces and shared work spaces for collaboration. Zoho Writer also allow the user to upload previously created presentations, word documents, spreadsheets/databases, pictures, videos, and music. I really like all of the collaborative features Zoho Writer offers. I can add my classroom as a group and let them work together from virtually anywhere on projects. I created a slide show presentation using Zoho Writer and embedded it below.
I am going to be teaching 10th, 11th, or 12th grade biology. As a part of each of these courses I might have my students collaborate on a research project with data, a presentation, an informative poster. I could have my students use Google Docs to create, edit, and finalize their collaborative work. Google Docs is especially handy for this because not all students have access to Microsoft Office products or the internet at home. Those that do could surely work on the project at home while others work from school or a public library. The good thing is that whatever the students are creating can be saved online and edited from anywhere.
After exploring the to online productivity sites and learning more about them I would have to say that I like the features of Zoho Writer more than Google docs. I think that Zoho has more to offer in terms of storage space, uploading photos, movies, etc., and working collaboratively. Zoho has features for workspaces, groups, and adding tags. And I like that I can import documents created in Microsoft Office software and export what I create in Zoho to Microsoft Office software.
I made this drawing using Google Docs!
