Thing 13

After exploring Zoho writer I was impressed on how detailed it was. Unlike Microsoft word you can upload photos and create your very own detailed document. Microsoft word and Zoho writer are very similar and both can be very effective learning tools. The one difference I notice between the two is Zoho is a little to flashy and high tech for the older grades and ages. Zoho could be used to create a document for the younger ages to grab and maintain their attention. Microsoft word on the other hand is more basic and ive been using it for a while now. So generally my pick is Microsoft word, I was impressed with Zoho writer it was neat to explore something so wonderful.

Google docs on the other hand is a very useful tool to help students with a variety of things like documents, spreadsheets, and other images. I could see my self using Google docs in the classroom. Another key thing about Google docs is it can be used for group work for the students. Sometimes students learn easier in groups rather than individual lecture.

My final comparison between Zoho and Google docs is day and night in comparsion. Google docs I could see myself using in the classroom for group work. Zoho however I think is two complicated and I used to using Microsoft Word.
