Ok this will be a very important site in the coming years. This will be where school data will be accessed to check NAPLAN scores for comparison against "like-school groups". PDFs with screen shots are available at the moment. Data will be entered in 2010. Note: I'm promoting awareness of the site but very wary of how it might be used...

Some high schools in Denmark are beginning to allow students access to the internet during exams. Exciting stuff, and fantastic to see countries looking into more open forms of assessment. I will be interested to see how quickly other nations follow Denmark's lead in this regard. Tools like Diigo would be a fantastic method of preparation for student's sitting these exams.
