I agree. I presented to a Board of Trustees meeting here in NZ last night about this. The BOT wanted to buy IWBs for each classroom - high-end ones at up to $7000 NZ a piece. I showed them some of the research and white papers and then showed them what they could buy as an alternative - being a lot of netbooks giving individual kids a load more power - be interesting to see what they do. One BOT member asked me if schools are now obsolete. My response was that schools are not obsolete but their walls are.

a fantastic post about class and student blogging. Some great links for blog support and ideas. A must read if you are unsure about the widgets and sidebar. This is compulsory reading for level 3 teachers who should be considering students having their own blog.

This is a great tool if you want a free pdf converter. Often you get resources from the internet that are in PDF format and you cant manipulate them for your class. Well here is your solution.

Everyone should be using dropbox. Its the best way to back up your important data. No excuses for loosing your soooooo important Literacy and numeracy data now ;-) From a student point of view... Most should and would be using google docs for any finished work but because they have an email account they might want to set a drop box account up to save any personal data etc
