    This is a great website which explores the amazing range of digital tools that are available to tell a story. Have a look! I am sure you will find something new you can use in the classroom to encourage children to tell stories.

    Duolingo, the free, wildly popular language app, is taking its zero-ad, gamification approach to learning into the classroom today, with the launch of a new platform called Duolingo for Schools. Launched in 2012, Duolingo offers reading, listening, speaking and writing exercises split into different lessons ("skills") and levels (if you get a certain number wrong in a given level, you lose a life). Good example of how free app available on line are helping to solve the financial factor on developing countries and improving language learning.

    Presentation tip #1: Be a great presenter with Prezi presentation software. This is a wonderful new way of presentation. Easy and quick. One can use this instead of powerpoint presentation. In my experience, students love to explore prezi.

    A simple online tool for creating book covers. My grade Prep and 1 (Australia) students use this with few difficulties. The Book Cover Creator is designed to allow users to type and illustrate front book covers, front and back covers, and full dust jackets. Students can use the tool to create new covers for books that they read as well as to create covers for books they write individually or as a class.

    This New York Time article asks readers to draw a graph showing their best guess of the relationship between income and going to college in the United States. Then, it provides individualized feedback. It's an interesting approach and could be used for upper-level primary.

    An oldie, but a goodie! Scratch is a free tool designed to support the development of coding skills. Available in 40+ languages and aimed at students aged 8 and up.

    My y1s are really enjoying Scratchjr, great for younger children, and as it's a free app it's good for the school budget too.

    My 5 year old daughter loves Scratch Jr. She had a tutorial from us initially, but was able to use the software independently very quickly, to her own delight.

    I as a teacher love scratch. And of course for the students too, scratch is fun way of learning.

    I am began teaching coding this semester in my computer lab. I haven't played with scratch too much but look forward to using with my kids next week.

    I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.

    Actually there is also a new curriculum for Scratch with worksheets: http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/download.html It has also been translated into several languages. This is a very helpful tool if you want to start introducing programming to a class. I have been using it now twice, and I am happy with the outcome. In particular the worksheets are so helpful and give you more time to support the individual child.

    I have use code.org as an introduction before using scratch. It allows the children participate it in games involving angry birds, plants vs zombies, flappy birds and the disney frozen characters.

    Stage 1 Sign up to twitter following persuasion/pestering by colleagues. Follow Stephen Fry, a famous sportsman/popstar and a news channel. Read a few tweets, don't understand what the fuss is about and mock anyone who uses twitter. Stage 2 Overhear colleagues chatting about twitter and a great article they found.
