I signed up for Zoho writer, created a blog post and had no trouble sending it! Pretty slick. I thought this would be a very good tool to use since it wasn't blocked at school and the edit area of blogspot.com was for a while. My plan was to work on my blog during my lunch break and even if I was blocked from sending what I wrote, at least it would be a lot easier than cutting and pasting and in the best format as well. As it turns out, blogspot edit has been unblocked, but it's still a nice site to go to. I'm usually at a computer that's either my own or has access to a server where I can save my documents. It's nice knowing that if I'm in a situation where I'm not, Zoho writer will allow me to type and save whatever I need.
Our CFF coach has a Google Docs account set up for our CFF team. One is for teachers to go in and schedule projects so our students don't get overwhelmed with iMovies, Keynotes, and podcasts all due around the same time. It also frees up equipment and lets our coach know where she might be needed. We just started it this year but since it's desperately needed, I'm sure it will work.
One of the blogs I read mentioned how well it should work for students who have trouble with compatibility issues between their home word processing programs and ours at school. I don't know how many times I've had kids try to get their flash drives to open up their assignment on our Macs, then my library PCs, and nothing works. If they could use Zoho or Google Docs, it might go a lot better.
