Things 18 & 19

Wow! I am in love with ZOHO! I never knew this existed! I feel like I have just been given a very expensive Christmas present. This does more than Microsoft Word and it does is so easily. My first bad thought came when I thought about saving documents though. Then when I went to save, it saves it on the web! I might have all my students in writing lab start using this wonderful tool! No more…I lost my flash drive and I didn’t have time to put it in my file locker and blah blah blah. The two major things I use on my computer are the internet and Microsoft Word. I feel like I don’t even need Microsoft Word anymore. You can import all the documents you want!

I added books to my library that were novels that I am teaching this year in my classes. I added:

#1 - The Kite Runner – 17140 members
#2 - The Old Man and the Sea – 7105 members
#3 - The House on Mango Street – 2318 members
#4 - A Lesson before Dying – 1583 members
#5 - To Live – 289 members

I was not surprised at all by The Kite Runner being the most popular because it is the most recent novel and was such a huge success, but I am surprised at A Lesson before Dying only have 1583 members. It was in Oprah’s Book Club!
