Thing 13.

It's all about Google now!! In my last blog post, I talked about different tools in Google. Did you know that Google also has Google Drive?! It's very, very similar to Microsoft Office, offering many of the same features, for FREE, and without worry of having to purchase new software every time a new version of Microsoft comes out.

Here's a link to a google document. Check it out!

Here's a link to a drawing I made. It's pretty simple.. But what's great is... I could do the same thing in Microsoft Word.

Students could work collaboratively in Google Drive, because one could publish a document, other students could view the document, and send feedback, and work together to make a complete document.

I really am a fan of Google Drive. However, Zoho is pretty awesome too! It offers everything from Google Drive and Microsoft Office, but MORE!! Zoho is designed for working professionals. It offers a lot of business software, as well as Word Documents, Presentations, and Spreadsheets.
Anything that costs me NOTHING, makes me a big fan. Knowing that programs like Zoho and Google Drive are out there. I wonder why people even purchase softwares like Microsoft Office anymore! We all need to save a dollar!!
