Thing 13

Zoho and Google Docs are two great ways to collaboratively work on material together.  You can work on presentations, spreadsheets, drawings, documents, etc.  This can really come in handy when you are expected to work on some task together, but may not be able to always meet with your partner(s).  You can log into these sites from anywhere, at any time, and insert your portion of the work.  Zoho, in my opinion, has the edge over Google Docs because you can use any email to use Zoho.  Google Docs requires you to have a GMail account, which can be a hassle remembering all of your log in information.  It is much easier to use an account that you already previously used because you are more likely to check your most consistently used account.  Using either site is a win-win, though.

Students can use either of these sites to work on projects together.  Students can input their portion of their presentation, spreadsheet, document, etc. even while the other workers are putting their part of the work in at the same time.  This comes in handy when class time gets cut short for one reason or another.  Being able to do group work even when the group is not necessarily able to be meeting is a major advantage in today's educational realm.  I have attached the google docs document I created below.  It is a generic spreadsheet where teachers can insert another "sheet" and teachers can keep track of what grades each student is making in other classes vs their own.
