Comments from those who selected Etherpad as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2009

  • My students LOVED using etherpad for collaborative editing activities. I have blogged a lesson in which I used this tool at yoursmarticles.blogspot.com/2009/05/collaborative-editing-through-etherpad.html . Students uploaded a writing assignment that they were working on and collaboratively edited with another classroom in this virtual space. Etherpad also allowed me to have guest editors participate in the process.  Mary Howard

  • for "real" real-time collaboration Stephanie Horden

  • Realtime collaborative text tool. Students can write, edit, compare points of view, have online debates. I get some students putting the account into the past tense, others adding positive bias, others adding negative bias – all at the same time. I also use it during exam leave for students to leave questions for me to answer – this is better than email because the other students then get the benefit too.  Russel Tarr
