Week 3 of Internet Resources

This week I learned about a couple of different options for online collaboration.  Currently, I have been using Google docs for my documents, spreadsheets and presentations and have been using Eluminate for my online meeting space.  We were instructed to look at a few different types of products that do similar things.  I investigated Adobe Buzzword, which is an online word processor.  It seems to be user friendly and has a lot of the same options as Google docs.  I don't think I am going to use this though, because I have been getting used to Google docs and did not see any huge difference that would make me want to stray away from Google docs.  I also started a free trial for Adobe connect.  This is an alternative to the Eluminate room.  I have to say I didn't get the whole fee for it because I didn't run a class on it, but it seems to that it would be a good option if I every wanted to try something new or if I got a job in the future teaching online classes and the platform used is Adobe connect.  If anything, I think it was good to get a feel for this products, in case I ever encounter a time where I would be mandated to use them.
