ZoHo Writing Experiment
This is yet another coincidence in my learning world. About a month ago, I had a parent of student call me all excited about just this type of web based goodness. What I realized as he was talking about it, was that I had absolutey no idea what he was talking about. He had just been to a conference where he had learned about these web-based products that allowed all student access to such applications and he had all these grand visions about the potential savings to the district by having our students do their work in this environment. I now see why he was so excited. We don't all have to go and by the latest Mircosoft Office package in order to complete out assignments. I really like the idea that I could have my students create a common document for a group project that they could collaborate on using something such as ZoHo writer. I just had a thought...this wouldn't be blocked by the smut filter would it? I am not using a school computer as I am at a conference. I will have to check that possibility out when I return to school in a couple of days. Back to my conversation with the parent...because I had no idea what he was talking about, I referred him to the IT department. I am now going to attempt to move this blog over to my blog site using this program. Wish me luck.
Thanks,
Elaine
