Zoho Notebook Goes Public – Imagine the Educational Potential
Posted by: Jeff VanDrimmelen In: Online Word Processors| Read/Write Web| Social Web| Student Tools| Teacher Tools
I ran across Zoho Notebook a while ago, but it was only in private Beta… well today it went public. Here is a short video introducing some of the features!
Now just imagine what you could do with this in education! Students keeping track of not only notes but all of their online content… video’s, RSS reads, webpages (marked up), audio, embedded html (like an online calendar) that automatically updates… WOW! Beyond all that, it is accessible everywhere and backed up on Zoho’s servers!
Teachers can use all of the same features, but the beauty really come in when you realize you can share it with others (chat online with them) and even publish it online for your students. Publish just a part of a lesson, publish a lesson plan for other teachers, heck, you can even embed it in a webpage. Wow! I’ll have to explore more when I am a little more rested (see previous post).
