"I have my own blog for ICT which he has to grade. Which I find really good - I’ve done loads of little things for it! I would not have blogged unless I had to, but it’s actually quite enjoyable. You have to reflect on anything you do within ICT and education so I quite enjoy it...
If I haven’t spellchecked it [with Texthelp Read anad Write], the voice can’t recognise it and then it does show me how to spell it. It has actually improved my spelling, I think. Rather than clicking on spell check, I have started thinking about how to do it myself which is a lot better."

"The blogging is going to be an assessment on-line, and the discussion board posting online. I don’t have a problem with that. But with our ICT, everything is on an electronic portfolio. It’s not paper-based. I need to spell check carefully."
