I recently explored the site EtherPad and Scriblink. I wish I would have had these programs at my fingertips when I was working on my master's degree. They would have made editing much easier. I imagine sites like this are wonderful tools for authors and their editors.
I really like the idea of EtherPad. I imagine I could find a way to incorporate this into a lesson for my second graders using their sixth grade reading buddies.
I know that they would enjoy Scriblink. They could each work on an assignment using laptops. I am thinking this would be great for teaching transition words and phrases. We could write our directions for building a snowman, add transition words or phrases, then underline them. We could look at each others pieces and circle the different transition words that they used.

I really like your idea about using Scriblink to reinforce transitional statements. This would be a great lesson for my seventh graders as well. What a fun idea for peer revision!
