I was fortunate enough recently to be able to visit another school and see some of the amazing e-learning tools and approaches being used to support student learning.

One very interesting tool being used was a type of photo software that enabled students to create innovative presentations of their work through assembling layouts of photographs and adding text by using various speech bubbles. More familiar to me from use in scrapbooking this seemed a simple but effective way to engage students in creating stories and sharing ideas in a range of curriculum areas.

From developing ideas for language work where students can create exciting and interesting layouts to sharing information from inquiry learning investigations – the visual nature of the end product makes it appealing for students to use.
My own example does not fully convey the impact of what can be achieved but was, nonetheless, fun to create!
