Save thousands per classroom by ditching the Interactive Whiteboard and projector cart. I don’t suggest this because I think interactive whiteboards are a luxury, I suggest it, because I think teachers are more effective without the interactive whiteboard

Etherpad allows students to write individually, in pairs, or in groups. It
tracks by color who wrote what information. It has an area for chat, and a
teacher can play back and observe the writing and revision process of their
students. -
because each participants in put is color-coded there is never a question about
the level of contribution from group participants -
live playback. This lets a teacher watch the students step by step writing and
revision process including exactly which student contributed what and when -

word count option. In MS Word, you click on the Microsoft Office button,
then select Word Options, Click

grade level or 12th grade? -
To find the reading level of professionally
published material, teachers and students can visit Find A Book which allows users for free
to type in any book and find the reading
level of that book, or perhaps more powerful they can type in their reading
level and interest and build a custom reading list on the subjects that interest
the reader most. -
