Thing #13

So I created a document in both Zoho and Google Docs and I think they were equally easy to use.  I tried to use the post to blog function in Zoho and my computer froze. Now whether that is a Zoho issue or an issue with my computer I don't know but either way I couldn't get that to work. But here is the link to the Google Doc I'll try to link the Zoho doc now.  Zoho The one bad thing is I  had to make the document public so I'm not sure this would be the best way to share a document.  The other option is to create a group of people with all of their e-mail addresses.  Based on the  limited use I have with both programs, I favor Google Docs.  Even though the Zoho screen puts more things right at your finger tips, the actually functional use after you create the document seemed easier in Google Docs.  I haven't every actually shared a document with anyone on Google Docs so I'm not 100% certain how it works but I think that you can actually collaborate in real time.  That would be really neat if you are working on a project together but can't be at the same location.  Students could work on a group project without having to physically be in the same location.  As a teacher, I could get input from other teachers on anything from a lesson plan to an idea for class activity.
