As you can see above, Zoho Writer is not as wonderful as I originally thought. While the resource itself is amazing, the process of exporting to my blog was not-so-amazing. I tried about 10 times to send the document directly to my blog: with no luck. First, I was logged in wrong, then I couldn't remember my blogger username and password. I then tried to copy the HTML code, which worked, but when I pasted it into the blog, the spacing was all messed up. So who knows?!
However, as a word processor in general, Zoho Writer is an awesome tool! I hate having to email myself a paper so I can access it in the library or to print it out in a lab. It is a hassle, and if you attach the wrong thing, you can be in big trouble. This resource lets you access your documents from any computer with internet access. This would save me a LOT of trouble! I wish I knew this tool existed before today!
I tried using Google Docs, another cool resource, but I could not for the life of me find how to post it to my blog without just copying and pasting it, which would really just be pointless. So here is the link to my document. Google Docs is really amazing too. The page layout looks almost identical to Microsoft Word, so anyone familiar with Office should be able to create a document, no problem. Another cool thing about both of these sites is that you can share your work with other people and they can review it. This would be a great tool to use in the classroom. Students working in groups could do a presentation or write a paper. Each member of the group could review the paper and save it as a version. It would be a great way to teach editing skills without wasting paper!
I liked both of the online applications. I had no idea they even existed before today, and I really wish I would have known sooner. I liked Zoho Writer better, just because it was easier to navigate. It will be hard to switch entirely from Microsoft Word to an online application, however, I feel that this is the way of the future, and I can't wait to jump onboard!
