Earlier this week I took part in a Learning Technologies event. This was a really useful event with lots of ideas on how to make the most of Web 2.0 and technology. Kevin Brace showcased several Web 2.0 technologies one that took my eye was Ether Pad this is a Word Processor that will allow several people to work together in real time. This would be really useful for group work, sharing of ideas and long distance meetings.
This has the potential to be very cost effective and efficient. At present the free edition of the Ether pad will allow up to 16 people to work collaboratively. The only down side I can see to the free edition, is that there is no access controls to your Ether Pad so the only form of security is to keep your url safe.
Take a look at http://etherpad.com
