I found a great app for stylized writing that may be useful for creating content for a community.

Here is my latest thinking from our Fellowship of Open Spokes collaboration. Thank you for all helping me to think things through as I continue to find time for these types of conversations.

I originally made this video for a collaborative group that I am a part of called the Fellowship of Open Spokes (http://openspokes.com), but I wanted to share it here because it is describing the shift we are currently considering. I wonder if we need to have a larger conversation about this shift and why it needs to be made.

Thanks to Jessica Raleigh for finding this one. I think it presents a compelling case for Google Docs are so important both to the writing classroom and to all classrooms.

Why 21st Century Teachers Prefer Google Docs

Keith Hamon does a great job of explaining why Google Docs provides a superior 21st Century teaching and learning environment to MS Word docx files, especially when it comes to easy sharing, spotting plagiarism, enabling peer editing, facilitating research, and enabling access from anywhere, anytime on any device. Other benefits like automatic saving and simultaneous editing by multiple users, neither of which are part of the Microsoft cloud alternative Office 365, are great features too.

Thanks to John Pearce for spotting this.

Anyone using subtext for reading discussion? I love how the content and conversation are intertwined.
