It is impressive that Open Office could be used by students making a document by correcting spelling more easily as they go along, not to mention help them with vocabulary that may be new to them in offering alternative choices. Of course you could consider that a disadvantage too. I like that spreadsheet formulas could be expressed in words. Being able to use it on any computer is great.
Back on Thing # 7, I created a couple of documents using Google Docs, and am looking forward to using that when school starts, especially for meetings or sharing common documents with fellow teachers. I think it will take some getting use to, having people able to see and correct or "enhance" my work.
Not sure yet about creating presentations in Open Office vs. PowerPoint. They have some great features. But how will this work in with all the new activboards we now have at our school and are suppose to make daily use of?
