Week 8 - Thing #18

Zoho Writer....
 
Hempfield High School


I see some potential in Web 2.0 tools like Zoho  - because some of our students do not have word processing software or Power Point or spreadsheet tools at home - just Internet access.


The skills to use something like Zoho writer are very similar to using Web editors that many companies and organizations are now using - so there is a skill set that students could potentially use.

However, I see a lot more potential in other Web 2.0 tools and with a teacher's and a librarian's limited time, I don't know that I would put this tool high on the priority list of items.  I think Library 2.0 librarians should be aware of as many tools as possible - but not everything will be useful.
