Online Word Processors

During our last ED 105 class, we discussed several types of web based softwares and its features. Today, on September 22, 2008, we did something similar; however, this time it was online word processors. Our ED 105 instructor Mr. Jenkins, introduced us four types of online word processors; Zoho, iNetword, Think Free, and Google Docs. These online word processors are all similar to each other; however they have different features. During class, we were divided into four groups and within the group, we were given one processor. For each group with one word processor, we were assigned to explore the program itself and see what available features it had to offer us users. I was in group two and our group handled iNetword. For iNetword, it was just like Microsoft Word; however, this program was not just a word processor. iNetword was a combination of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, Photobucket, and 50webs; 50webs is an online software that allowed a person to create his or her webpage. My group and I found iNetword somewhat a user friendly program; you had to explore the program itself for awhile. What fascinated us was the fact that this program allowed a user to save his or her file into the internet or even save it into their computer. The other thing was that it had a built in calendar. This software was so organized that you could create tabs that will be inserted at the side of the window that your using. My group members and I rated this software a 9 out 10. It had templates in the program; however, we expected it to be like Gliffy where you can search images online and retrieve it when found. This software was somewhat user friendly, but we had to play around with it first. In conclusion, if you are looking for more than one online word processor, the internet has alot in store for you.
