Thing # 18

This week I have been exploring some free web based applications for students working on word documents and spreadsheets. I first looked at Google docs and was truly impressed. There were templates for letters to apply for college, cover letters for resumes, resumes, templates for business cards. I then realized that my district has blocked Google apps and gmail! What a tremendous disappointment. I explored zoho writer and am hoping that website is not blocked too. I think it has fewer useful templates but still could be used for teaching computer applications. I will post more about thing #18 when I check to see if it is blocked on our school computers.
