- Celebrate success with the school community
- Raise self-esteem
- Showcase digital and 'traditional' work from across the curriculum
- Get children writing for a purpose
- Develop Literacy and Numeracy skills 'by stealth'
- Encourage supportive peer editing with children across the globe (Quadblogging/100WC movements)
- Tag pupils' work to create a digital portfolio of work
- Works seamlessly with PCs/iPads/android devices
- Develop digital literacy and DT skills
- Raise awareness of e-safety in a supportive context
