Thing #13 - Web-based Applications

There are many growing web-based application that encourage collaboration. I don't think they will take the place of Office but, like what was said in the 23 things blog, they definitely have their place. I have experience of Google Docs from my Education 2100 class, and I absolutely loved it. I found Zoho to be somewhat difficult to understand. It was hard to find the actual Writer, and I had difficult making an account. Google Docs is completely connected with your good account, making it very accessible and easy to navigate. Students would love collaborating over Google Docs for a project, or group assignment. It would be nice for them to be able to collaborate in the privacy of there own home, in their pajamas, but still learning. I have included an example of a Google Doc in the following link.
