Hi Marie and others,

First a clarification.  I am not sure the ALE Wiki is the right venue 
for student collaborative writing, but wikis definitely are, and it is 
possible for teachers to create collaborative writing wiki pages on the 
Literacy tent, which houses the ALE Wiki.  I also know that at least 
one of the LINCS regional centers is exploring offering wikipages for 
teachers and students to use in collaborative writing and for other 
purposes.

I have the same question Maria posed: does anyone know of good 
guidelines, templates, or online examples for student collaborative 
writing using a blog, wiki, Yahoo group or other web-based 
collaborative writing environment?
