Thing #18 Web-based Apps: Thumbs Up & Down

I'm sure it's due partly to my ineptitude, but I had a hard time trying to get Zoho to work... I'm giving it a "thumbs down". Google Docs, on the other hand, seemed a lot more "user-friendly"... "thumbs up" for it. There was even a special category of templates called "Students and Teacher", which had items such as calendars, research papers, book reports, and grade and attendance records. I played around with photo albums, spreadsheets, calendars and documents.

Carol also pointed out a neat site called "Google for Educators" which extends far beyond word processing to many other applications that they provide free for the classroom... cool!

Here's the website:
