Seriously, kids have it so easy these days. Not only do they have smartphones to be able to communicate with their friends after school's out, but they also probably have more knowledge when it comes to using computers than their parents. While this could be a great thing — they are the future, you know — it can also be very bad if they start searching for or accidentally pulling up things they aren't supposed to see.
Now, to the delight of parents, kids will be able to use their very own version of Google when using this search engine called Kiddle.

Audio books have become increasingly popular in recent years (see Google Tends), but some people believe that listening to a good book is not as legitimate as reading one. In fact many authors, such as Dickens, wrote their books to be read out aloud. You can make the case that listening to Dickens’ books is more authentic than reading them.

"How can I improve my pronunciation?" How many times have we heard this question! Native speakers of French for instance seem to suffer from a complex so deep-rooted that no amount of pep talk can change that! So, here are a few things to think about when you are convinced that your pronunciation sucks…

What if you want to search for an image similar to one you see? Or, what if you want to quickly locate an image based on a word or phrase on a page?

I have been making printed versions of books made with Book Creator on an iPad for many years. The app produces a really decent file for hard copy printing.
First thing to realise is that your video and sound files won’t work on paper. I know that sounds silly but people sometimes get upset when they first realise this. What you do get is a paper book which looks like it was purchased from a bookstore – it looks so professional.

Web technologies have reshaped many key traditional tasks we used to do by pen and paper (e,g note taking). They have also provided us with way more sophisticated options to develop such practices. Today we are touching on journaling as an example of a literate practice that has been revolutionized by the use of digital technologies. Anyone now can easily create a digital journal hosted in the cloud and accessible from anywhere with Internet connection. Unlike traditional journals, digital journals make room for a variety of multimedia materials including images, hyperlinked text, video clips and many more. Journaling can also be done on the go through the use of mobile apps designed specifically to help you capture and record your ideas and thoughts as they occur. In the collection below, we have curated for you some of the best journaling apps you can use on you iOS-operated devices.
