    One of my favorite ways to use the commenting feature in Google Documents is to host online discussions around a shared article. Doing this isn't a radical departure from having a classroom discussion about an article that you've printed and distributed to your students, but there are some advantages to hosting your discussion in Google Documents. The first advantage is that your students can participate in the discussion from anywhere at any time they are connected to the Internet.

How One Classroom Actually Used iPads To Go Paperless (Part 1: Research) | Edudemic - 1 views

  • The 4 Goals A few of the goals that we outlined prior to the research process included: - Students will crowd-source their research to a collective research group.- Students will incorporate varied media types into their research: web based text, traditional text, audio and video.- Students will work collaboratively with their teacher and classmates on their research and writing process.- Students will become proficient researching and writing in a digital environment.
  • Diigo and the iPads proved to be particularly helpful during the process of researching and annotating.

      Students have the free app Evernote which will do the same thing, plus can be accessed on any other device. A better option I think.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • As an alternative to the process of writing in Pages, collecting research in Diigo and storing documents in Dropbox, I would consider jumping to Evernote to house the entire process.
