I think that sending a URL compared to an document is easier over the e-mail. A document can be to large and sometimes too large to send. With Google docs and Zoho writer you can send the URL which is way smaller in size compared to a saved document file.
Yes I agree that this technology class is very enlightening. I had no idea that the webquests, webinars, edublogs, etc were so valuable in the field of education. I am thinking that I may actually integrate it into my lessons once I am a teacher.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did like this about those programs. I actually enjoyed Zoho, but I wasn't a huge fan of Google Docs. Not sure why, I just disliked the format.
ReplyDeleteYour point about large file sizes is so true--especially if you have large pictures or music. Being able to share the URL also allows others to collaborate on the file at the same time.
