Online Solution for Microsoft Office

ThinkFree has a word processor component called Write, a spreadsheet component called Calc and presentation software component called Show.  They are all compatible with the Microsoft Office programs.  This free online software is a great substitute for students who may not have one or all of the Microsoft programs at home to use for school work.  As a teacher, you can feel comfortable assigning a research paper, PowerPoint project or even a Science lab write-up using a spreadsheet by allowing students to start their projects in school on our computers that have the Microsoft Office suite.  Students will be able to complete these types of projects (and more) at home with online solutions such as ThinkFree.  And remember, it is 100% compatible with Microsoft Office.

  1. I am definitely going to forward this app to our science teacher. He is forever looking for ways for students to write up labs. It is often quite difficult to find programs that will lend itself to home and online. Brooke

  2. Thanks for the helpful information about ThinkFree. As a classroom teacher, it is always difficult to get work started on the computer finished at home. Now, I can show students and parents the ThinkFree site and that will be the end of the issue for anyone that didn't have Microsoft Office before. Thanks for sharing! Kellie
