Students as publishers/collaborators

Making the students into editors fascinates me. I see it as a great tool for collaborating, but more importantly to have kids owning their writing.
These are not like the photo storytelling that's out there, just writing collaborations.

Here's a couple of great sites or links that I've picked up from my PLN the last few months that demonstrate this effectiveness.

A great idea with students is to have them participate with the NaNoWriMo movement which encourages kids and adults to write a novel in a month (November). Kids can work together on their own projects via google.docs. This way they can view others' writing, comment and encourage others and receive comments on their own writing. Here is the direct link for the children's program. http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/ywp
