Free! Free! What a nice concept? And so easy to use! Google. Docs is a great option and is perfect for beginners. Because of the simplicity, teachers will like using Google.Docs to familiarize students with learning how to develop document. There are not as many choices regarding font, size, lines, and bullets. I could not locate a thesaurus but spell check is available. Actually, most items that we are accustom to using on word are available, we just have to browse Google.Doc for their location. The bottom line is that this on line source is free and most of the tools that we need are available.
Open Office is another one of those great free on line productivity tools. It is a very nice program which has more options to offer than Google. Docs but not as much as Microsoft Word. Of course Microsoft Word has a fee so you're paying for the increase choices.. Open Office quality falls between Microsoft Word and Google.Doc. Users can create nice documents using on line productivity tools, however if accustom to using Microsoft Word, some fustration will develop when using the other two because of options that are missing and not being familiar with the programs. Open Office has the ability to develop a power point but the program on Microsoft is more expansive.

Hi--
I am searching through interesting blogs to leave comments as part of Thing 12. You are way ahead of me, but I have been out of the country for three weeks, so I will have to hurry to catch up.
I love your explanations of the various sites and will refer to your comments if I get confused! I am having a great time with Library2Play so far and learning so many cool things.
