Google Docs is a great tool for the classroom. Right now, our Writer's Workshop students are editing their research papers using peer review. This stage is the least favorite in the process. Using Google Docs for this, instead, could increase enthusiasm, since anyone in the workshop could review it -anytime, any place.That would make an interesting study. One could measure the degree of effort made by students while comparing Google Docs peer reviews and the standard methods of peer reviews.
Using Google Docs for writer's workshop is a great idea. Let me know if or when you do. Students would love it.
