Week 8: Online productivity, LibraryThing..

I really liked the online word processing tools and the online library tool. The online word processing would be a wonderful tool to use with students during their writing process. Could access their docs in the classroom, in the computer lab or from home. Also a great tool for teachers whether it be for our school related work or for coursework that we might be taking. We JUST recently uploaded XP onto our computer so I have struggled with Wordpad for the past 5 years...trying to save docs a certain way so that others could read them etc...Again, if only I knew about some of these tools sooner!!! I am hoping to incorporate the Google word processing into my Week 10 lesson plan..fingers crossed that it won't be too difficult to figure out!

I agree about the online word processing! So often I have kids who need to open a document in a format we don't have at the high school - it is really frustrating when they have done the work and can't access it. Online WP gets rid of that problem.

I am chuckling as when I was learning about Zoho writer I was totally focused on the recent experience of writing a grant and the challenge getting input from 4 other people. When I think if it as a classroom writing tool ...wow...this could be very useful!
