Instead, I usually work on Open Office
(an open source equivalent to MS Office) applications. From a
philosophical and ethical point of view I think it is better to use
open source program.
I find Open Office to be as convenient
as MS. I frequently work on Open Office Writer ( OOW) instead of MS
Word, I do most of my writing (like my assignments or theses) on OOW.
It allows me to have a Backup of my academic work just in case.
For presentation I am accustomed to OOPresentation.
However it lacks a few functionalities of MS Power Point: for instance, you cannot scroll the slides which is slightly inconvenient when you are reviewing your presentation. The master pages are also less up to date than MS PPT. Apart from those 2 points I like it.

From time to time I need OO Spreadsheet
and I cannot find that much difference with Excel.
In the future when I will have to keep
a record of my students and their record, I will probably have to use
a database or maybe stick with Spreadsheet. Does anyone have any
experience of both? Can he/she give me his/her advice on what is
best?
Thanks Christelle, that's a good suggestion I will talk to you about that.
ReplyDeleteIt depends what you want the database for, I think that spreadsheets are perfect for most of a teachers admin jobs. The OO version is perfect really and as you say, much cheaper than MS!
