Thing # 18

Okay, so I downloaded OpenOffice and began to play. Maybe it's just me but it was very easy to use. Microsoft Office anyone? I really like the fact that it downloads to my computer and is not stored elsewhere. Google Docs seems more like a Wiki to me, my opinion I may be wrong. I plan to play a little more with Google Docs and see in what other ways it would be useful in our high school setting.
What I really find cool about OpenOffice is the fact that students could download it from home. Many times our students have computers that don't come with Office installed and use Works instead. This would be a great product for them to use.
