Zoho

What is Zoho? Well, for those who are unaware of this application, Zoho happens to be an online office suite similar to that of Microsoft's Office Suite. The great thing about Zoho is that it happens to be free; and just like Microsoft, Zoho includes word processing softwares, spreadsheets, databases, project management, invoicing and other applications. Of course, there are advance Zoho applications but they do require a small fee. Today's ed technology class was a day to experience Zoho for ourselves. The class got to divide into four groups: Zoho's Writer, Show, Sheet, and Docs programs. My group got to try out the Zoho Show Program. We had to find out what it was about and how we could use it in the classrooms. The programs was real easy to play around with and was real similar to Microsoft's Powerpoint. It wasn't difficult at all. It's user interface in my opinion was easier as well making it a beneficial tool for students wanting to create their very own presentation. Overall, this was a great program, but caution! You must have a quick internet connection to really appreciate what this had to offer.
