Today we were introduced to collaborative softwares specifically to google docs and zoho. With google docs we were able to see our colleagues as well as ourselves work and edit work on the white board. On Zoho we were able to explore different applications that the software offered. One application that I particularily like was the zoho show. It is similar to powerpoint on microsoft but it has more features. We were able to edit a power point from a different computer without using a usb. COOL! We also chatted while editing. This software is very useful because if students had a project and they were not able to meet they could both access the powerpoint at the same time and edit each others work. I would use the sentence writing assignment in my class because it would be more convenient for students to do assignments becuase time will not be wasted. Using this software students will be able to just type in the correct grammar or punctuation for a given sentence instead of wasting time on erasing or concentrating on neatness.

ReplyDeleteZoho sounds like something that can help out a student immensely. Because of the fact that it has more features as well as the ability for it to be edited while chatting to another person. This allows for editing with others while not in the same place which is extremely useful. This is a useful tool that i look forward to using in my classroom
