Evernote for Literacy

This video clip is a great illustration of how technology can be used to develop self reflection skills. I really like the fact within one file, a student can take a photo of the text, record their voice and then type text to comment on their own fluency. What a simple but powerful way to use this tool.

New Google Forms and Flubaroo

I've playing with Google Documents and Forms for communication and collection of data from colleagues throughout the system but I can see Forms as a useful tool in collecting feedback from both parents and students for a school or classroom. Some teachers have use this tool as a means to create on-line quizzes or self evaluation forms to ensure that student monitor their own progress. Have a look at the YouTube link.
