COLLABORATIVE WRITING TOOLS

COLLABORATIVE WRITING TOOLS

collaborative writing tools

A popular Web 2.0 application is the use of online collaboration tools. Multiple people can edit the same document at the same time, and any changes are reflected on everyone’s screen. Basically, they can be summed up as a WEB BASED WORD-PROCESSOR allowing multiple users to COLLABORATE IN REAL-TIME.

​

Some possibilities for use include group research, group question and answer, group story writing and other writing assignments.

Examples:

Pirate Pad

Goal - making class notes and resources available to people who missed out it class:

Method:

• all notes in class are done using IWB software, and exported as PDFs
• all class notes are uploaded to the class moodle (online learning environment)
• Courses generally have guest access available so parents can have easy access to see what their kids are meant to be doing/have done
• Have a look here at what i have been doing for my yr 10 maths class
