Instructure Canvas is a free learning management system that teachers can use to record grades, post assignments, and interact with their students. Students can use Instructure Canvas to communicate with each other and collaborate on assignments. Instructure Canvas integrates Facebooks, Google Docs, and email systems outside of Instructure. Another neat feature of Instructure Canvas is that students can subscribe to RSS, email, and cell phone alerts to stay abreast of any new content their teachers post.

Free resources every Monday for every grade level of teacher. Great for teacher collaboration.

The teacher selects a story start or inserts his or her own first chapter, and the students use their skills, knowledge and creativity to forward the piece. One chapter at a time, the students write, read, and then vote on the submissions they like the most. The winning submission is added to the piece and the process continues. The teacher determines the total number of chapters to be completed, and when the competition is over a new book is ready to be published.
