Now, I find that Writely (still functioning) requires a gmail account.(& login) :( This makes it MUCH less convenient for me to use in my classroom. I'm assuming that GoogleDocs requires a gmail account (& login) as well... Is there anything left that doesn't require an account & login that functions like this?

Is there anything left that doesn’t require an account & login that functions like this?
