This looks very interesting. The potential is huge for students to develop apps for the Android platform. How can apple beat this one if they have locked down their apps store? The great thing about App inventor is that it looks like it has been modelled on Scratch 'Blocks' of building scripts. My Grade 5 and 6's (some whiz kids lower) would love to get their hands on this. The potential for them to develop their own apps for perhaps an Android tablet or smart phone is enormous. Rich and authentic possibilities for learning. Have DEECD made a wrong choice in going with the ipad? 

Wow look what we can do with google apps Ed which we are using via our student email. Plenty of things possible here. Google video is really only available for teachers at NFPS.

Another useful post by one of my favourite Edubloggers. This guy just keeps on keeping on! This post is about google forms and how they can be used in the classroom. I used Google forms to create the staff survey on the 1:1 program. Imagine the students using this for the end of the week spelling test or maths diagnostics or any of these data collecting excersises completed using google forms and then instantly sent to a spread sheet.

Woo Hoo! At last we can now control page level permissions in Google sites. This could be a game changer for schools who have been using Google Ed Apps. 

Wow some of these dont  apply to primary but are still worth a look. Remember that all our students who have activated their email have access to Google docs. 

Create your own graphs to embed in blogs, webpages email it or IM it. Large selection to choose from. Another google app. 

This is a great wiki that explains loads of stuff about google tools for the classroom. 

A website which links ipod apps to Blooms Taxonomy - some great suggestions
