Thing #13: Web-based Applications

Here are two examples mentioned in this exercise. The top image is document from Zoho, while at the bottom, is a spreadsheet made from Google Docs. All things considered, I prefer Zoho over Google. It's cleaner, more streamlined and doesn't present a host of options that aren't needed. I'm led to believe sometimes that Google thinks too much of itself. They want to be the primary content provider of everything. Bigger doesn't always translate into better. That said, they do have a platform that offers terrific compatibility between shared information and users, which is a very important resource for teachers in the digital world. But Zoho offers it as well. While Zoho may not have all the bells and whistles that Google does, it gets the job done just fine.
