Bio-Cube is a useful summarizing tool that helps students identify and list key elements about a person whose biography or autobiography they have just read. It can also be used as a prewriting activity for student autobiographies. Best for primary students.

An interesting article about a small k12 school in Scotland who went from a 24 mac school, to a 1:1 iPad school. Shares some information about how they are managing the iPads, their approach to using them and some of the school's thoughts on their use. Worth a read.

This is an interesting website which allows children to hear other children their age reading stories, some would be familiar, whilst others might be new. The stories are written by several authors who contribute to the site, and all the videos are screened before they are uploaded. Many of the videos include captions in other languages, so it may be a good tool for language learning, too.
