I have just learned about a variety of on-line office suites.  I teach a class for students who have trouble being successful in school.  One student in particular really struggles with keeping track of all of his work.  Crumpled papers constantly fall out of his binder, but rarely are they the ones he needs.  Those papers are usually lost.  He is quite smart, however he rarely finishes and turns in work.  I would recommend ThinkFree to him because it offers everything in one place.  He could create documents, spreadsheets, or presentations on-line.  He wouldn’t have to remember to bring materials home; he could just turn on his computer.  He wouldn’t have to remember to bring his finished work back to school.  Again, he would be able to simply get on-line at school.  In addition, his handwriting is atrocious.  Being able to use a word processor would probably allow him to more efficiently record his ideas.  Ideally, his teachers would put all of their assignments on-line as figuring out what he has to do and how to get what he needs currently takes up far too much of our class time.  However, even if that didn’t happen, it would still be advantageous for him to use this tool to help himself stay organized.
