EtherPad and other cool Web 2.0 applications

Over at the Creative Tallis website we are attempting to compile a list of useful, free and esay-to-use web applications to enhance the learning experience. The latest link on the Creativity Resources page is to a service called EtherPad. This can be used to create real time collaborative word processed documents. There are other sites that allow you to do this but EtherPad seems to be a real no fuss alternative. There is no sign up and sharing is achieved via sending an email or instant message to other users.


Now that the English Faculty have a few netbooks to play with, I imagine the task of creating collaborative online documents in lessons is a real possibility. If anyone would like to experiment with this Web 2.0 tool, let me know. I'd like to pop in to see how it works.
