Thing #13

Google Drive

 I used google drive to do a Class Newsletter for my future classroom. I think google drive will be helpful because I plan I doing a newsletter every Friday for the parents to see what has been going on for the week and other important information. I have heard of Google Drive before but I was surprised to see how easy it was to use and questioned why I didn't learn about this earlier. I really liked the "make a quiz" template option under create. I can share quizzes and tests with other teachers and vice versa. I liked that I can create things on google drive and I can upload things as well. This was a nice touch to using this tool. 
When I went on to Zoho, it was a litter more confusing for me. I found it a little more difficult to get the hang of it. For that reason I prefer Google drive over Zoho, I don't really have time to figure out how to use Zoho when there is Google drive which is equal if not better. I have a better time when things are broken down step by step and Google drive does this. I will definitely use this tool in the future when I have my own classroom.
