EtherPad
EtherPad is the only web-based word processor that allows people to work together in really real-time.
When multiple people edit the same document simultaneously, any changes are instantly reflected on everyone's screen. The result is a new and productive way to collaborate on text documents, useful for meeting notes, drafting sessions, education, team programming, and more.

All learners benefit from having a range of options available when it comes to showing what they know or presenting what they've learned. Some learners may benefit more than others. That's because some learners will never do well when limited to the traditional option of pen and paper, or even when using a word processor.
In our digital era, all learners benefit from developing proficiency with multimedia presentation tools. For some learners, especially those who struggle with using text to share thoughts and ideas, multimedia tools may be essential. This is why I am so eager to promote effective applications for multimedia presentation.
