Thing 10: Online Productivity Tools

Zoho Writer is such an easy and neat writing tool. It reminds me a lot of Microsoft Word. I like all of the different options it allows you to use, especially the idea of being able to edit documents sent between colleagues. For instance, if my grade level team and I were creating a parent newsletter, we could each look at the newsletter and make additions to it and write comments to one another. It makes the editing process so easy. I think I could use Zoho Writer with students as well. If the class is creating a story, each student could add onto the existing story and I could then publish it to the classroom blog.
As my sample document, I created a parent newsletter for if I had a first grade class. It is a very basic newsletter, but as I explore Zoho writer some more, I will defintely learn some more techniques to make a more creative newsletter at a later time. I was able to make my document public, but for some reason it will not let me post or link it to my blog. I will try again later.
