According to Google , "Revision is a critical piece of the writing process." Indeed. "Now, Google Docs has partnered with Weekly Reader’s Writing for Teens magazine to help you teach it in a meaningful and practical way."

Dan Colman at Open Culture is skeptical. He writes: "The deal with Weekly Reader almost feels like pro bono work. But then you remember that Google is a public company hellbent on growth, and the wheels start turning, and you start to see the Weekly Reader deal a little differently. It’s an opportunity for thousands of kids--tomorrow’s consumers--to be exposed to Google Docs, a product that will inevitably mature and one day rival Microsoft Word. A new generation will get comfortable using web-based software to do their word processing, which puts Microsoft’s high-margin software business . . . deeply at risk."
