Thing 13: Let's Get Ready to Rumble: Zoho Writer vs. Google Docs.

Upon delving into Zoho Writer, it seemed remarkably similar to a Word document. It had all of the ease of the Microsoft program without having to purchase and download it to my computer. Hmmm, could this be the word processing wave of the future? After checking out a few of the features Zoho had to offer, I was off to Google Docs. I was really impressed with Google Docs' capability to share documents with many other people and the collaborative possibilities that exist. You could easily and quickly gain input from several collaborators on a project or idea and this is made possible without an expensive add-on program. Teachers can use something like this to work on grade level lesson plans in such cases where uniformity is required or in helping to mentor new teachers. I didn't really have prefer one over the other (Zoho vs. Google) and would probably need to spend a few hours with each to make that determination. Below is a drawing I created using Google Docs:
