Thing 16

We have used this a few times at my school. My team tried doing some team meetings a couple of years ago using google docs and wetpaint. We had limited success because not everyone was comfortable with it (ie. not techno savvy). I think it's a great tool and am wishing I had more computers/laptops at my school. For Spanish it would be good for peer editing of essays. I prefer editing with a keyboard and not ink :). I like that I could see other student's comments and know who said or did what. It does pose a small problem since everyone needs an email account. There are some parents who don't allow their kids access to email. I would have to work around that.

See our email message from 8/19/09 which includes an attachment that suggests a way to get around having an email account for each student.
