 * I couldn't open the files on this weeks lecture PowerPoint (except the first, which gave an explanation of the different types of plug ins and multimedia.

So I will attempt to answer these questions myself.

1. Cost is the most significant factor in the choice of software, followed by student ability to use. 2. Not sure which program is being mentioned here but I do believe different programs suit different ages. Excel, for example, is only really suitable for Year 6 and up. 3. I have just finished a "Choose Your Own Adventure" unit, where the students made their own hyperlinked stories. We used a rubric (attached) and peer and teacher assessment. 4. Mostly cost, and time for the teacher and students to learn new programs. Australian curriculum still very outdated when it comes to technology use in the classroom! ||
