Since Docs are collaborative and available 24/7, the tool is well-suited for facilitating digital writing workshops that combine peer editing with cooperative grouping and small group fine-tuned writing instruction."

Go wild with document commenting, the research pane, smart spell check, the dictionary and thesaurus, revision history and template use: and it's all free!!
