Wetpaint is an excellent resource. It is a beautiful Wiki provider and ad free for teachers. However, students must be 13 or over to have an account. Check it out.

Thanks for all your ideas. I will definitely ask my Language Arts teacher to evaluate them. She likes the idea of projecting it on the WhiteBoard. We do have SMART Board as well. By the way, I found this site too but maybe a bit too "easy" for middle school for proofreading documents: <a href="http://www.eduplace.com/kids/hme/k_5/proofread/proof.htm">http://www.eduplace.com/kids/hme/k_5/proofread/proof.htm</a><br />

I second Jennifer's suggestion to use Google Docs.<br />
<br />
Students can add themselves as collaborators on each others documents, then offer comments (Insert > Comment) or edit the document. Google Docs automatically saves each revision of the document (Tools > Revision History) along with the name of the person who made the changes and a list of the changes that were made. Moreover, you can have Google Docs highlight the changes made between one version and the next by checking two versions and…

When I have a whole class in the room, with the student's permission, I throw the document onto my SMARTBoard. Then as a class, we can all offer suggestions, revisions, etc. The class finds this very helpful because they see their own mistakes in the work of others.
