Heeding Mike’s Call…
August 27, 2006
Thought I’d chime in with some things. I am curious to know if anyone out there has used “Writely”. www.writely.com. It has reopened since it has been acquired by Google. I think some of the tools there could be used as a whole organizational, conferencing and teaching peice for ELA. Any other people out there using it or anyone who does extensive writing use something to organize those efforts in the classroom?
Thanks,
Jeff Bailey

Jeff,
I’ve used Writely and shown middle school students the program. Students found this form of collaboration more friendly than type-email-edit-email-review. This is only the beginning of collaborative apps making their impact in the classroom.
Writely takes the whole platform as well as program debate out. The interface is very user friendly and your not worrying about whose computer the file is stored on!
