"I have been using the Bamboo a few weeks now and really like it. It is the same size as a pen with some weight so the feel of it is much better. Excellent build quality for a simple tool and the silicon type top means it very nicely glides across the screen and much easier than the Pogo stylus. I really am enjoying using it. I have a number of notepads for different projects open within the app Penultimate and its working really well. Referring back is easy.

Looking for a great collaborative project with students?  Check out Quadblogging!!!   Imagine four schools that had a partnership/agreement that would mean that for a four week cycle, each school's blog would be the focus for one week out of four. Each school in the Quad would spend some time visiting the blog of the school for that week, leave comments etc. After that week, another one of the four schools would be the focus and this would be repeated for the four week cycle and then repeated. It wouldn't take the pupils long to work out that during their week, they would get a boost in visitor numbers and comments. This would give a real focus to have posts online ready for this bulge in visits. During the other three weeks, pupils get to visit and comment on other blogs in their quad. Pupils being pupils, they would also venture out of the quads and visit other blogs that are linked.
