Reflections on Teaching

Zoho continued

I didn’t get time to work on Zoho last week, but I’m putting it to the ultimate test, by using it with my classroom. On my class project for planning a trip, I’m having students add data to an embeded spreadsheet on our wiki. It did “get stuck” at one point when I was editing tonight, but IE has been doing stoopid stuff like that all day, so it might be the browser. I found the formatting was better if I did the spreadsheet on Excel, then imported it to zoho. They do support open source spreadsheet formats, so you could use those too.

    Alice, thanks for taking time and checking out Zoho again! About the issue you had, do write to me of where exactly you got stuck. If it is a Zoho Wiki/Sheet problem, we will sure address it as soon as possible.

    Arvind, I’m sure it was on my network because everything was slow at that time. I discovered later that my wireless connection as turtle-slow. Comcast had come out and installed phone service, and the antenna on the wireless router was not up. Once I fixed that, it was fine. I had another slight hitch up at work, but the network there was slower than molasses everywhere as well (I had it time out loading some pages from various sites). But, the good news was no data was lost, everything saved nicely. So the lesson is even if your connection is bollixed up, the data seems to not to get lost.
