I used Zoho Writer to create just a short document about myself. (I haven't figured out how to get the document on my blog). I thought Zoho Writer is an awesome tool because it has a Share tool. AWESOME! You click on share and then choose the blog you use or add your blog and then your document is supposed to come up. Remember I haven't figured out how to use it yet... I also thought it was great that there is a tool bar that tells how many words and characters you have typed. Zoho Writer is so much easier than Word. I still can't get over the fact that it has a Share tool.
In Google Docs, I created a drawing. I thought the Drawing tool in Google docs is a valuable tool for teachers because you can create your own pictures and add them to a power point for a lecture class. I chose to make a picture of a rainbow and how rainbows are made from light through a prism. (I'm studying light right now in Physics.) Google Docs is a great tool for students because they can use it for projects that require visual aids.
I prefer Google Docs because I was already slightly familiar with it and it's tools. Zoho was slightly confusing and I couldn't get the share tool to work so that was a turn off for me. I found it really easy to create a drawing in Google Docs and I think this would be great for students to use. However, both tools are better than Word!
