Description:

Zoho is an online office suite.  It contains a word processor, spreadsheet program, slide presentation program, and lots of other management oriented programs.   The advantage that programs like Zoho provide students and teachers is they are cross platform, and you can access your data anywhere.    What Zoho does that programs like OpenOffice and Microsoft Office don't do is give users the ability to share documents.  You can set other users as collaborators or you can publish your files as webpages.

Project Ideas:

1. While not as robust for collaborative writing as Google Docs this suite does offer more powerful features and more closely resembles programs like Microsoft Office.
2. Great for Writing Research Papers (imagine being at a Library work station and being able to paste info from a library kiosk right into your paper notes).
3. Students can create presentations and embed them on a school wiki.

Other Educational Uses:

1. Publish reports on your school website.
2. Share documents with colleagues regardless of geography.
