Thing 9

Editing a document with Google Docs was fun, especially the option that allows you to add links to your document. However, I saw a turndown, and it is the limited number of fonts that you can use. Now I’ll try using Zoho.
Well, for starters, Zoho lets you open the document in a number of formats that makes it easier for everybody to work with. I personally used Microsoft Word because it is the one I’m more experienced with.
One thing that I just realized is that Microsoft Word doesn’t have the option to add links to the document, which I liked a lot in Google Docs, or if it does I couldn’t find it. Other than that, I like all the little things that you can do while writing on Word, such as changing the font of course, adding page numbers, symbols…
I think that Microsoft Word is faster for me to use because it’s the one I know but I want to keep experimenting with Google Docs. I’ll keep you posted.

Thing 10

I just read about wikis and t seems that they are a really great place for people to share their creations, knowledge, and/or experience about anything that interests them. The best thing I found about wikis is that you can use it even if you don’t know HTML language.
Libraries and schools might benefit from a wiki because it allows them to show all their applications, programs, available materials… in a fast and easy to understand way that is finding its own place in the vastness of the Internet.
About the teachers who ban what students find on Wikipedia, I must say that there is a reason for that, and it is simply that you can’t trust everything you read online as true. Unless you know the source you are looking at, you must always check the credibility of what you want to use to avoid possible misunderstandings.
This is all I could think of after reading this thing, but if I find anything else about wikis in the future I’ll make sure to post it with my next entry.
