Netffice 24: A Web Tool for Productivity
Summary : A Cloud Service for Creating, Storing, and Sharing Files
Netffice 24 allows users to create and store files online. To begin, users must register with the website. Next, they will be able to log in and access their dashboard. From their dashboard, users can click the “+” button and then choose if they wish to create or upload a file or folder. If users wish to upload a file or folder, they can drag the file or folder from its current location into Neffice 24. The website will then store it on the cloud.
When users create a folder, they must first name it, and then it appears on their dashboard. Users can right click on files already located in their dashboard and choose the “Move” option to organize files into the folder. Finally, users can create files by clicking the “+” button and choosing if they wish to make a document, presentation, or spreadsheet. Users next name the file and Netffice 24 then creates it. At this point, users can add content (e.g., text, images, shapes) to their files, and the website will automatically save their work. (Depending on the type of file created, these options will vary.)
When finished, users can return to their dashboard and right click the file to share it with other users; download it to their computer; rename it; move it into a folder; and delete, copy, or edit it. Users can continue to personalize their dashboard by choosing the “Add Service” option on the left side of the screen and connecting their Netffice 24 with other cloud storage systems, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, and more.
Please Note: This review was based on the free version of Netffice 24. If users subscribe to the service, they will be able to access additional options and receive additional storage space.
Instructional Ideas
- Students can use this website to create and store files online. That way, they will be able access to them no matter what device they are using. To submit assignments, students can share them with their teacher.
- When students are completing assignments in small groups, one group member can create a folder and share it with the other members of the group. Next, each group member can add files to the folder, so all of the other group members can access them. This process will support the group in collaborating to complete the assignment.
- To improve students’ evaluation skills, teachers can have them use Netffice 24, Google Drive, Zoho, Evernote, and other online office products to pinpoint the one they most prefer. Students can then use that product for completing assignments.
- Whenever a new unit is introduced, teachers can have students create a folder for it in Netffice 24. That way, as students complete assignments for the unit, they will be organized in that folder, which makes it easier for them to find and access them.
