This week in class we learned about some internet programs that can help us with group projects, or just projects that you need to do for a certain class. We learned about programs such as Zoho, Ether Pad, Cameroid and Prezi. We also learned a little about the new microsoft word and how to do some cool things with word art and pictures.
Zoho is an internet program that is similar to google docs but it has a lot more to offer. Zoho has its own mail, writer which is a form of word, sheets which is a form of spreadsheet, show which is a form of power point, it also has Zoho wiki and chat. In Zoho docs all of your material can be saved.
Ether Pad is a cool tool that allows you and many other people to control a writing pad at the same time. This can also be used for chat rooms which is a perfect tool for an online meeting or a group project when you cant meet with your partners. Cameriod was a cool program that we looked at which was exactly like photobooth on the computer. It allowed you to take pictures and manipulate the pictures to your liking.
We learned a little more about microsoft word as well. The formatting Palette allowed us to do many things with word art and clip art. You can even put 3d objects on a page and put your picture inside of it as well. You can also hyperlink one place in the document and make it go to another place in that same document.
Prezi is a cool program that is an alternate to power point. This program while harder to use than power point is a very more creative way to do a project and is very fun at the same time.
