Writeboard Remember when I wrote about Writely a while back? It's the cool, new online word processor that also allows you to collaborate and save final results as a Word file. Well, there's another web application out there that looks pretty promising. It's called Writeboard. It works slightly differently. Instead of having an account like you do in Writely, you create a whiteboard. My whiteboard is here (the password is "classroom" if you'd like to play). Although I don't think this application is as robust as Writely, I can see some interesting uses of it. Imagine taking a student paper, pasting it into Writeboard and then having the class go in and edit it. You'd have all the versions; you could discuss in class or with the student which changes are more effective. It definitely has potential.
