I prefer Google Docs because it
is much more user friendly. I navigated Google docs much more smoothly than
Zoho; I had not previously done much work in either. Zoho also required you to
create an account. With Google Docs, it comes with your Gmail account which
much more people have as opposed to Zoho. I found presentation templates in
Google Docs, but could not seem to find them in Zoho. Zoho was not nearly as
easy on the eyes either. Google Docs also has the option of installing Google
Drive to your computer so that you can work while offline. However, both have
positives. Google Docs has a “Draw” option, but Zoho has a “Planner” and “Notebook”
that Google Docs does not have. Both have a calendar, but Google Calendar syncs
to my smart phone. In the end, Google Docs is earier to access because of
applications and easier for collaboration. Therefore, it’s the most efficient
for education.
With Google Docs, students can
use their Google accounts to share work. For a group presentation or project,
each student could do their part in the assignment and send it to one another
for review before combining it into one document. Another option is to have one
student work with the project and complete his or her section before sending
the unfinished project to another student to work on. More than one student can
work on the same project as a shared document at the same time. Teachers can receive
documents and presentations on Google Docs for review. Google Docs allows
reviews/editing. They can also go to the shared document in order to track
student progress.
