Zoho vs. Slide share: I had a lot of trouble getting Zoho Show to work on the computers I tried to use. I ended up with two presentations with one slide each but I couldn’t open them to add additional slides. I also found it more difficult to browse other slide shows in Zoho. With SlideShare, the browse feature is very easy to find and use.
I finally managed to make this silly slide show about my cat using Zoho Show, which worked much better on my newer computer at home. This would be a good way to share presentation slides rather than make a handout. It was easy to make the presentation once I was on my home computer but it would be very difficult to create a presentation with this with an older computer.
Picture Trail seems to think I am a working mother wanting to go back to school and searching for an astrologer. They couldn’t be more wrong. I think I may be a little older than the typical user because I would not want all the dancing baloney all over my pictures. Here is my simple flick of pictures of my family (not my cat for a change). This would be a great way to make eye-catching slide shows of photos from programs and events. This was very easy to use and the built in preview was a great help in making choices about what the show should look like. I would recommend this to others but I think I would advise against using most of the flashy animations because they were a little tacky.
The lazybase server was having trouble when I tried to create a database. So, I looked at the samples instead. I had a lot of trouble getting things to open in the lazybase tool so I can't really say how useful this would be. If the loading problems are something they can fix, it would be useful to track book club readings and other information about programs. I can't really say much about this since it didn't really work when I was trying it.
I am not really much of a sharer of stuff online. It all goes back to my need for privacy. I can see the useful aspects of some of these tools but users need to really think about what they are showing the world about themselves.
Paula I was at that rooftop exhibit! It was great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of your family as well.
Glad you are playing along.
I too had trouble with Zoho, I think its to do with not having the correct plugins updated on our system
ReplyDeleteMy first baby step on this Thing was Zoho. I took several falls, cried, and decided not to try it again! Actually, the computer I was using at work was so slow, I'm going to try it again at home to see what difference that may make. Wish me luck, so I don't have to cry again!
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks GREAT!!!
