Composing versus Writing
Favorites ◦ Google docs:
documents, presentations and Excel (good for groups) ◦ Zoho Writer (good
for 2-3 people)
Google docs Advantages ◦ Saves automatically ◦ Share options and edit options ◦ Synchronous writing allowable
Disadvantages ◦ Formatting Issues ◦ Only saves most recent version
Zoho Writer Advantages ◦ Much like Word processor ◦ Easy Sharing ◦ Earlier versions available ◦ Can determine who made which changes
Disadvantages ◦ Glitchy in saving with many people ◦ No spell check or grammar check as write.
Allows many to edit variety of items PDF, PPt, Word. Web pages
