Type up a list of your students' most common errors into a word or googledoc, project on to the wall and get them to have a gander.
Don't write the names of the author's beside the mistakes, leave them as anonymous...
Stand at the back of the room so that they can't ask you for help.
After a short period has passed, encourage your students to analyze the problems they see and to talk to each other about what they think each correction should be and why...
Switch groups and get them to share their thoughts with their new partners.
Then sit back down in front of computer and get them to call out the corrections to you - your same-time changes should be visible to them. Discuss any issues that arise at this point.
Finally, you can get them to sit back down and they can either type up their own list or make notes on the errors they found most difficult to correct - or perhaps even the ones they recognize as their own/ that they find themselves making frequently.
That's it!
