Week Eight Thing 18

Zoho Writer is a new tool for me.  I love ZAMZAR.com, the free file converter, so I am willing to to take a closer look at another "Z" too.  The Zoho "Welcome page" lists a few of the new features in the latest version of zoho.  I like the left tabs which list all your documents.  The way that zoho saves each version of your document is a great feature for documents which are being collaboratively written.  The most fun feature is "insert emotions", where you can add a face to show how you are feeling at the moment.  smile  And for teacher comments on student work and to make sure your comments are seen, there is the "add comment" feature. (click on the comment icon below to see what the comment is) Pretty cool, really!  The endless possibilities are here!  Next I will try to post this document to my blog...... 

So what happens to edits after it is posted?  Does it change when you post it again?  YES!  It worked.  Very cool! 

**Note that I was having trouble with my computer being slllllooooowwww and sometimes would not post comments, never open links, etc.  My fix for that was to update Firefox and things are working much more smoothly now!  I am finding that trouble shooting is the best way of handling these challenges! 

And updating post again --- in zoho!  Can't wait to show students this one!

  2. I didn't try Zoho, and instead used GoogleDocs. Now, however, after your glowing commentary, I will have to try Zoho and compare it. I also need to remember Zamzar!

  3. ZAMZAR is a great help especially with students coming in to print assignments they did in MS Works, that won't open in MS Word and don't get me started on Word 2007 and docx files....those are just wrong...
