For those of us who grew up doing papers on word processors, the process of writing was most often a fairly solitary experience. As we got a bit older, we started using features like Word's Track Changes, but for the most part, the concept of peer review generally involved illegible notes scribbled in printed margins.
In the spirit of encouraging collaboration between students, Google has teamed up with Weekly Reader, a Readers Digest-owned classroom magazine designed to help improve the literacy of school kids. The magazine is using Google Docs for a lesson that demonstrates the use of drafts, brainstorming, and change tracking.
For more information about the initiative, and to check out the lesson, check out the Google for Educators page.
