 * Name:** [|Power Proofreading]
 * URL:** http://www.eduplace.com/kids/hme/k_5/proofread
 * Who It's For:** Grades 2-8
 * What It Costs:** Free
 * Description:** Improve students' proofing skills and knowledge of grammar with this fun and easy-to-use site. After a short animated video introduces Power Proofreading, students click the folder for their grade level and select a passage to proof. Each passage's errors focus on a specific skill, so why not preview the passages before class, and pick out the ones you want your class to practice based on your current grammar unit? Then, students simply click to delete, add, or edit as needed to correct grammatical and spelling mistakes. Unlike sites that have students correct grammar in a sentence or by question and answer format, this is one of the few at which students work within a paragraph, a valuable skill for success in standardized testing. Kids need more practice? Try some of Education World's [|Every-Day Edits].


 * Name:** [| Google Docs for Educators]
 * URL:** http://www.google.com/educators/weeklyreader.html
 * Who It's For:** The Google Docs and Spreadsheets tool allows sharing among students at all grade levels, between students and teacher, student and parent…..
 * What It Costs:** Free
 * Description:** Google and Weekly Reader have teamed up to provide free tools and materials for educators to use to teach "digital buddy writing," in which two or more students work together from different computers to write and revise the same paper at the same time. The buddy writing lessons and activities utilize the sharing features of Google Docs and Spreadsheets, which enable teachers and students to determine who can access and edit documents. Google Docs helps promote group work and peer editing skills, and helps fulfill the stated goal of The National Council of Teachers of English, which espouses writing as a process and encourages multiple revisions and peer editing.
