An online system to keep ideas/notices/reminders. The students can use it as a virtual journal to keep track of homework etc. I'm trying to encourage them to use apps or systems which work across any platform so they are able to always have their work available.

A really effective behaviour management system that also teaches Financial Literacy in a realistic way. Using it as a tool in SocSt "Game of Life" topic, but also in other classes for reward tool and real life learning.

The sites are fab. I had to book and use Room 4 Comp Lab a lot in order to have a reliable front screen that the students could follow. We went through the process of developing a site step by step. Doesn't work well on i-pads. Chromebooks fine.

Brilliant English and Social Studies topic based reading. Free, easy, editable and tracks everything. Self motivated learning, which allows for visual and aural learners, has heaps of easy to use accessibility features and can be easily differentiated for every learner. Easy to set up as it downloads from Google Classroom.

Instead of inviting all the students I gave them the opt in by informing them of the code to join the classroom. I wanted them to take ownership of it and not have me spoon feeding them - independence is important. Interesting and telling straight away who was up for learning and who was blase!!

Due to my physical lack of classroom, my students need a point of contact that is fast, user friendly and matches a mishmash of devices and software. They also need to learn how to use it!

Again, a lack of physical space means storing portfolio work online is important. I want to enable the students to build their own Google Site in order to gather portfolio items. As I teach Year 8 and 9, it puts them in good sted for NCEA data collection and portfolio evidence. Ideally all subjects will feed into the site so that all their best work is in one place. I have considered using WIX, however for security and transparency Google seems sensible.
