Excellent resource by Margaret Powers. If you teach younger students and want to collaborate or hop into a global project this website provides many updated resources and connections.
"Zopler is a social network where writers, authors and students can easily collaborate on writing stories together as a group. "
I love this downloadable book by Silvia Tolisano (globallyconnected learning.com) that shows us how to create collaborative eBooks using iPads.
"Welcome to Collaborative Writing in the Classroom, a project sponsored by Eye On Education featuring Vicki Davis, Cool Cat Teacher.
Collaborative Writing in the Classroom, scheduled to be released in 2012, will provide a showcase of best practices from across the country that improve student writing using tools like wikis and Google docs.
In her book, Vicki will pull from her extensive experience on her award-winning wikis and global collaborations to show how collaborative writing can be simple and doable. She wants to hear your stories, too! After all, Eye On Education isn't just a book publisher but a community of educators who want real ways to improve their classrooms.
We are asking for your collaborative writing stories!
We invite you to submit an example from your classroom that demonstrates how your students have used wikis, Google Docs, or other tools for the purpose of collaborative content creation.
Vicki and our editors will review your stories as potential case studies in the book! If your story is chosen for the book, we will get in touch with you. We'll also send you a complimentary copy of Collaborative Writing in the Classroom when it's published! Or, if you're struggling with Common Core State Standards and know this book is for you, let us know that too! We'll keep you posted!
Thank you,
Eye On Education and Vicki Davis (Cool Cat Teacher)

"The keys to understanding this new perspective on writing and reading lie in notions of collaboration and being social. More specifically, it’s believing that collaboration and increased socialization around activities like reading and writing is a good idea. "
"Collaborative assessment must be part of our learning today. We, as educators are doing our students a disservice if we don’t attempt to make this type of assessment available to our students. There are few professions and work environments that only focus on individual competencies. Most modern work environments involve some type of collaboration or connected problem solving to enhance their corporation or product. However, the inevitable barriers surface in the form of social and digital media taboos."
Great example from Nick Corben in Sth Korea of using Wetoku as a student diary, embedded into the wiki to share.
Meet, Record, Share
