Why I Love ThinkFree!
ThinkFree is a type of free web-based software. It allows you to upload documents, spreadsheets, and presentations so you can access them anywhere you have Internet access. It is also compatible with Microsoft Office. The first thing I thought of was how I could use this. Every day I bring my school laptop home with me. ThinkFree will give me the ability to access what I am working on at home without having to lug my laptop home every night. It will also aid in sharing documents with fellow teachers. Right now if there is something that needs to be shared with others it is usually through e-mail, or zip drives. Employing the use of ThinkFree will give everyone access to what we are working on as a group at all times. In terms of student use, it would be helpful in a school-home connection capacity. They would have access to projects or papers they were working on where ever they are.The only negative that I noticed was when I tried to access documents I uploaded from my computer on my phone. I can view them, but not edit them. From what I understand, from what is posted on the site, you can purchase an upgraded version which allows you to edit from a mobile device. Barring that little drawback I think this is great software that I will definitely use.
