Draft

Draft is a very cool site that I juts found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's blog.  This site is similar to Google Doc's in that it lets a user create a document and then share it w/ others to collaborate on.  What makes Draft nice is the ability to see the changes highlighted and then deny/accept them before adding them to the document.  Also, a person has the ability to "ask a pro" to get professional writing help on a document for a fee.

I recommend checking out Draft by clicking here!!!

Boom Writer

Boom Writer is one of my favorite Web 2.0 site and is a very innovative way to integrate technology into a curriculum.  This is done by having a class grades 3-8 create a digital story through an online competition in a safe environment.  Students create chapters and then vote on which chapters should be included in the finished product.  Once a book is completed it can then be published and a copy can be ordered.  Right now BW offers a free class copy for new teachers that sign up.

Best of all there is an educational portal for Boom Writer which allows teachers to create student accounts.

CubertsCube

CubertsCube is a excellent site for creative writing for kids aged 7-12 yrs old.  This is all done online in a user friendly environment where kids can write/draw a rough draft, get feedback, revise, and then publish and share a finished product.

Foboko

Foboko is a new (beta) for creating digital books.  These books can also be collaborated on w/ others and then published online.  It kind of reminds me of BoomWriter w/out the ability to vote on finished chapters.

Thanks to Larry Ferlazzo's blog for the tip.
