Have any of you tried using Writely? It’s a site where you can share the writing and editing of documents, collaboratively. Teachers are beginning to use it as a space where students can write a document together, or do peer review. It would be useful for faculty who are co-authoring, too. Registration is free and takes two minutes. You can create documents there, or upload and download them in various formats (Word and others).

I’m using Writely to collaborate on a presentation with another teacher and I love it. It’s really interesting and useful. What’s neat is that if two people are working on it at the same time, the changes take place in almost-real-time!
