Thing 13

If you like free things that are useful, then you are going to love Zoho Writer and Google Docs. When using Zoho Writer you are allowed to use this web site's version of Microsoft Office Excel, Word and PowerPoint. Did I mention it was free? In times like now is when we really appreciate things that are free. Microsoft Office is more than $100. Some of the features include file sharing, so if a teacher assigned some work they could all easily work on the project from their own computers from the comfort of their home. It also provides online storage for students to save their work with out the hassle of junk drives. What I like the Most is that feature of file sharing, because it just makes it easier for students to work on a project. You can also take a tour and see everything the site offers before you join. I really like this site.

Now, Google Docs is almost the same as Zoho Writer, it also offers an alternative and free option to Microsoft  Office. Google as we all know is a giant, and you can actually do much more, and if you already have an account with Google you can already enjoy these services at no charge and without having to sign up again. Students can also so their work in this website. It is somewhat similar to Microsoft, though Zoho bares more of a resemblance. Just like the templates in Microsoft, Google Docs also offers a variety of templates and features. so which one is better you ask? It really depends on you. I liked both of them, because I am so familiar with Microsoft Office that it really does not make a difference. However, since I already have an account with Google I choose Google Docs. Well that is it for today, please leave your comments in the comments section and hopefully this was helpful!
