THING NO. 13 Thoughts on the Benefits of Web-based Applications

First, simply being web-based is a benefit of these types of application period. I have struggled in the past trying to figure out how to share works with others. It is a complicated process that basically ends up with me emailing the documents to individuals. At best through a mass email.  Web-based applications  offer a form of freedom in my opinion from larger market products from companies like Microsoft and Mac. I worked on a PowerPoint presentation, simply playing around with the features on Zoho writer. It seemed very comparable to the software/desktop version. I mean, there were signs of limited tools and layouts but, for the most part it was comparable to what we are use to.

Working on the poster below was fairly simple. I created it in Google docs.  It seems like the tools are very limited on this application as well as my ability to enhance it through my own means. I would have loved to have included by logo but, was unable to figure out how to edit the white background of  the logo, which was white...ugh...So it stuck out like a sore thumb. My poster does not look professional. It turned out very cute though and I can see how much fun and useful this application would be in the classroom.

By the way, this is a real event. I would love to see some of my colleges attend our event at Bluebird Cafe'. :)
