Thing # 13

Discovery Exercise:
1. Create a free account for yourself in Zoho
2. Explore the site, visit Zoho Writer under productivity tools and create a test document or two.
3. Try out Zoho Writer’s features and create a blog post about your discoveries.
4. Explore Google Docs, Google's online word processing/spreadsheet/presentation applications.
5. Create a document, spreadsheet, or drawing and share it in your blog
6. Discuss in your blog how your students might work collaboratively using Google Docs.
7. Compare the two web-based productivity sites (Google Docs and  Zoho). Which do you prefer? Why?

I created an account in Zoho and immediately liked that I could create/access my information anywhere; there is no 'dropbox'. What I didn't really care for is the fact that there is a limit- you can only access your previous 25 items which seems like a lot, but in the long run it may not be as promising.
Below is the document I created in Zoho Writer:

Next, I use Google Docs. I liked that I could access my account everywhere and that I could save file upon file. It wasn't as user friendly in my opinion (Zoho offered more options for creativity), but the pros and cons really balanced eachother out. If I had to choose... I would go with Zoho.
