Penzu

Info about Penzu

Penzu is a website oriented to any person who likes writing and wants to keep an online journal. 
Penzu is ideal for students to have electronic portfolios. An e-portfolio is a digital collection of a person's pieces of writing. The advantage is that it can be easily edited and shared with the world or just with the teacher or classmates.
With Penzu, you can even attach pictures right next to your writings, which will appear on very realistic sheets of paper inside a thick leather notebook.
