What are you all doing for next week's computer classroom?

I always get stuck when it comes to the computer classroom. I could show them ads I guess or articles.

Are you doing an in-class writing assignment then?

Any ideas?
Does anyone have any creative ideas for peer editing?

I'm having my students bring in their profile drafts on Monday. Frankly I was always bored when we had to peer-edit, although I think it's an important aspect of the writing process.

Perhaps I was bored because my instructors never provided peer-editing guidelines, or a series of questions to ask ourselves each time a new paper was presented. The conversation would invariably turn to the latest video games or preferred beer of choice.

Any ideas?

Welcome!

Feel free to post lesson plans, questions, great ideas, links to funny YouTube videos, etc.
