Open Office was frustrating to work with. It took so long to download and then I had trouble with it. It took 3 tries to get it to work right. But once it was done I could see that it could be a good thing. The great thing about it is that it is free to use. Which could be a great thing to people that can't afford the price for Microsoft office. The program has about the same stuff as microsoft and I found it easy to use. One of the tools is Impress which will let you use 2D and 3D clip art, special effects,and animation. It also has easy to use drawing and diagramming tools. Draw allows you to communicate with graphics and diagrams. I really like the old appleworks when I used their draw program so maybe this will take its place. Of course it has a writing tool as well as spreadsheets like excel, and presentations like power point. Information can be transferred between all of the 5 office products.
Goggle docs is a great place for students to save work. They could then have access to a file similar to their norway folder. This way they could access their work from home and would not have to save to a flash drive. Another good thing about is tool is other students can share and work on the same document. You can also publish your work online as a web page. This is just one of the many things that Google has to offer. They truly will rule the world some day.
