Week 13: Free Online Apps Reviews
I looked into ThinkFree on the web. It is a free online application where you can create, store, edit, organize, and share MS-compatible documents. It offers 1 GB of Internet Storage Space. There is an online editor. You can view and edit documents without having the expensive hardware on your computer or smartphone!
This application is most suitable for working on the go. You can collaborate, edit, and create documents without having to depend on your home or office computer's hardware. For a teacher, I could see this being a valuable tool for storing and sharing files with colleagues and students. Also, it's a great application for students to use who don't have the hardware on their computers. Along that same line, it's extrememly useful to students who don't have the internet at home and can go to the library and find what they need in one place online. For what I would use this application for as an educator, I didn't see any real drawbacks.
I also looked into a free online application that is an image editor, Picnik. Picnik is an online photo editor. It allows you to upload photos and edit and enhance them with a variety of tools. You can add stickers, frames, other effects, as well as touch-up your photos. It claims to be the easiest online editing tool for photos. Picnik also offers an upgrade for a price.
I found this application extremely fun and easy to use. I can see this as being a great personal online tool. I especially appreciate it since I used to have Adobe Photoshop on my computer. With this FREE tool, I can do just as much if not more even faster and anywhere there is internet! In the classroom, I can see it being fun for students to edit photos and then create stories based on the photos.
