I opted to explore Google docs instead of Zoho Writer. I am writing in Google docs now. Google docs uses an interface with a menu and a toolbar. which allows users to access standard document editing features such as font type, size, and style. It can insert image, table, drawing, link, and even equations like MS Word. It supports CSS and HTML too. Above is a screen shot of what I typed in the Google docs editor.

The presentation is easy to use as well. Above is a sample I created with Google docs. I can pick up different themes and add multiple slides. It can be shown in full screen similar to PowerPoint except it sis done online. It allows me to add speaker notes too. I will let my students try the presentation some time.

Finally, I imported a sample Excel file to Google docs Spreadsheet and created a chart from the data as shown above. It surprised me how much features Google docs has integrated into this online spreadsheet application. It is not as powerful as Excel but it gets the basic things done quickly and easily.
