library 2 play #18
An advantage of having free online tools is for example, having a computer that does not come with Microsoft Office. Open Office is highly rated because of the functionality of the data that it provides, it also has extensions such as, dictionaries, most popular, and recent searches. It was interesting to see that Open Office welcomes contributors or monetary donation for more development. One disadvantage in my mind would be the lack of privacy. Even though the only way to access is by logging in, I would still rely on Microsoft Office because it is private and offers backup for your files and it also includes a firewall for blockage. It is basically the one that we all use. A disadvantage of Microsoft Office is the cost.

Have you considered using Google Docs...especially with groups? You can limit who sees the documents.
ReplyDeleteMany schools are discontinuing the use of MS Office because of the cost so that opton will no longer be available!
