Makes you wonder how on earth earth such misguided studies can even be commissioned. Also makes you curious about who is really behind the funding of research that misleads readers into believing that poor kids don’t need the same tools their wealthier peers use for success.

UtellStory can be used for students to create and share short stories. Would be suited to students in Years 4-12.

UtellStory is a digital tool that allows students to create and share short stories. It allows students to embed into a blog or email. It provides the option to upload images, add text and audio to each slide. This program would be suitable for middle-upper years and provides oppertunities for students to capture and communicate findings or ideas through the use of digital tools (ACARA, 2012). It is more advanced and engaging than the usual powerpoint presentation.

I think students would find this tool very engaging and it is a great way to differentiate assessments allowing students a choice of presentation tools.

I started my blog using WordPress and I have found it a platform that makes it easy to own and publish your own content online.
It is the foundation to the success of this blog which currently receives over 300,000 hits per month.
If you’re looking for an easy way to create a web presence and start sharing your ideas online, the best way to do this is to create a blog. Millions of users around the world already express themselves and share their thoughts by means of their personal blogs.
The advantage of having your own WordPress blog that is self-hosted is that you own it.
It is good to have a Facebook “page” or a Tumblr blog but they are owned by someone else and you can have a web presence there but under their “Terms and Conditions” It is basically a rental.

Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version. Via Baiba Svenca
