Show Document

Instant Collaboration on any file!!  This is a must see!! http://www.showdocument.com/  It is one of the easiest collaboration tools that I have ever seen.  Simply upload a file and share it. As soon as the invitees join they can annotate, comment, highlight and chat about the document.  Save as a pdf.  What a wonderful tool for editing papers and reports together.  Students could do this in pairs, small or large groups and learn from eachother in an instant.  The origianl file stays in tact.  I love this tool.  Give it a try in your classrooms!
