In this session two teachers of English language learners share how they used Google Docs, an online document-sharing space, with their students, who read their classmates’ writing and inserted comments into each other’s documents. Participants will be invited to share their insights as they follow the revision process of one student who revises his work in response to suggestions posted by his classmates. The presenters will explain very briefly some of the technical aspects of the project and a few of the challenges they faced.
