Zoho Writer is great for students that may work in a self-paced scohol or less fortunate scohol because it is a free program. Zoho Writer works similar to Microsoft office, except for the fact, that it does not have all the bells and whistles. Also, this program allows people to collaborate at the same time, even if they are in different places. The great thing about using the internet to run this program is that anyone can use it where there is access. This program allows all kinds of documents to be able to be uploaded, and they can be revised or submitted to other websites by using Zoho Writer first. This application would be helpful in a classroom if students were absent, or if they were working on a group project. This application puts a new spin on the term group project. Students in the group could upload or revise any part of the document they wanted to and other group members would be able to see it. This allows for group members to still communicate and participate but without having to meet up in person. Teachers love group projects, so this would be a great tool for teachers to people able to use. Zoho Writer is there as a tool to help other documents, so even though it does not have all the special features that Microsoft word does, that is ok because you pay for those special features; whereas Zoho is free
