Howtoons Nik's Learning Technology Blog: Developing Your Digital Study Skills Making the move from our safe and trusted traditional literacy habits to newer digital skills can be quite a challenge, but as teachers I think we are really unlikely to be able to use technology and help our students use technology really effectively unless we are prepared to face this challenge. Technology needs to be more than part of the way we teach but it also has to be part of the way we ourselves continue to learn and part of our everyday professional practice. Scrible is one tool that has been helping me to make this step away from my paper and pencil study habits and towards a more efficient and digital way of learning. Scrible enables me to replace my highlighter, sticky notes and coloured pens and to work with similar tools directly on the computer screen. Scrible is a simple browser plugin that I can activate whenever I find something interesting online.

Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: This Is Why Handwriting Helps Students Learn Better February 8, 2015 In "what does your handwriting say about you" we learned that the way we write can reveal great deal about our personalities. For instance, the people who use small letters are said to be shy, withdrawn, or meticulous while those who tend to opt for moderate letters are well-adjusted and adaptable. Using wide spacing, on the other hand, indicates a person who enjoys freedom and doesn't like to be overwhelmed or crowded. The shape of letters can also tell something about your personality traits.
