From the first week of school, the six-year-olds in my classroom begin to create an online presence in the form of a blog and digital portfolio. We use a blogging platform to do this, and include artifacts that show their progress in writing, reading, math, social studies, and science. I am frequently asked why I do this. Even more frequently, I can see in a colleague's eyes that they are thinking "why," even if they don't verbalize their question. The way that those educators have always done portfolios has worked well for them. Their students are learning the things they need to learn and are building a paper portfolio as they do so. Why do I take the extra time to upload those artifacts?

Amazing, set questions and your students can respond in their own time either from the lab or from home. They can watch each others responses and even comment on them. Could be useful for developing confidence in speaking/new language/sharing ideas.

When people realize I own a website that reviews iPad apps they invariably ask "so what's the BEST iPad app?" I always find that question mind-boggling. There are over 1/2 million apps in the Apple App Store! We weed through hundreds of new apps each and every week just to find the gems among them. The "best" apps for your iPad is going to depend on you. I depends on who you are, what you like and what you use your iPad for.
