This was one of the most informational "things" I believe I have come across. I knew that google was awesome, but I had never really gone into deep search through what google could do through Google Docs. I really enjoyed using Google Docs more than I did using ZoHo. The site for ZoHo just had too much going on for me. I like to go to a reference sight and know where I am going right off the bat. I feel like ZoHo is like going to the clearance section in Belk, you start to look...and then you think to yourself, "I really don't want to look through all of this for a blue shirt." I'm not say ing ZoHo couldn't information friendly but I think it would take awhile to find what you wanted with all the links I saw all over the place.
Now, when I went to Google Docs, I was very impressed. I am the secretary for my soroity and I am well aware that i can accept Documents through Google, but I did not know that I could create and accept drawings, spreadsheets, etc... I feel it necessary to have these great tools especially in a classroom setting. This not only will help with collaboration between students but the teacher could get involved as well. This could happen through the comment section in Google Docs.
I look forward to using this type of technology in the classroom. I really need to reconsider search engine sites for more than just research.
