I will do the ZOHO exercise because its ask for I will not be using the product
1. Had trouble loading took forever, OK, that happens server slow whatever I can live with that
2. I had trouble with the navigation I know its a lot like word and Google Docs but something just did not feel right
3. I could not find the Save function  I'm sure frustration had something to do with it but if I have to look I don't belong here
I did a word doc with this product won't try anything else

Ok, its a new day I got an e mail from someone using Zoho format it looked great, I went back into the site with a new pair of glasses, I was wrong.
After visiting several different aspects of the site, and it not being midnight, and being too tired to think I realized how easy and useful this site is.  I was amazed at the business section and the things it affords the small business to do to make them look professional.

Google Docs :

I still peferr Google docs.  It just feels better to me the tools are simpler don't ask me why
I would guess seeing the old familiar brand of Google on the page gives me comfort.

Using the collaborate feature will be useful both in the class and for the faculty.
This feature should make my blogs easier and better.

I found this video on Google for Educators it might me a good intro to Docs in your class
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TYPjJK6LZdM?version=3&feature=player_embedded"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TYPjJK6LZdM?version=3&feature=player_embedded" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>

The ways I can see using the Docs program in the class room are:
1. check their work for spelling errors
2 Personalize the papers with clip art, shapes ect
3. Its saved, I accidentally closed this in docs opened it back up it was there, so no lost work
4. lets students collaborate with classmates in school or wherever, whenever

Again, on Google for educators there are several examples of how other schools are using Docs
