Effects
• Provide a real audience - from Wikipedia, blogs with
comments, YouTube, school radio podcasts, Twitter, school
TV etc…
• Offer a choice of outputs (written, typed, poster,
presentation, video, podcast etc…) the input (thinking,
planning, note-taking, drafting, re-drafting, collaboration
etc…) remains the same and the most important bit
• Real time - news, events and global happenings
• Fostering creativity as students become creators of content
• Promoting self confidence and self esteem

•From Bobby:
•As I start the mission it makes me feel like I have butterflies in my stomach, as
the freezing weather and thick snow breezes across my face. All I can hear is
the rustle of the trees hitting themselves.
•From Josh:
•The sniper rifle is held steadily in front of me, as I tread carefully. The snow is
white as a dove and crunches under foot. The sunlight glares into my eyes.
•From Miguel:
•I hear a chopper come from the sky. The snow starts going mad when it lands
on the building. I get on straight away. They get me out of there in the space of
five to ten seconds. The enemy troops end up looking like ants.
•As I look back there is an explosion on the building where I was standing and I
realise how close I was to death.

The technology you use will
impress no-one.
The experience you create
with it is everything.
