The amazing tool 2Create a Story is a favourite with so many teachers and students.

It enables children to create their own multimedia digital storybooks and brings their stories, recounts, information books and adventures to life.

There are three modes of 2Create a Story: My Simple Story, My Story and My Adventure Story. With these modes, you are able to put together amazing creative writing activities that can be used for cross-curricular activities and tie in all learning areas when working through a common theme.

This Sunday is Valentine's Day, arguably one of the most popular days of the year for school going children. It is a day where love is about the place and there is a palpable excitement. It is also a day teachers struggle to get children to settle down and work on! So why not buy into the excitement and harness that enthusiasm into a worthwhile creative project.

2Chart is an amazing tool that you can use to make flowcharts for many purposes. Used across the curriculum, this tool is particularly useful for developing computational thinking. Learning often includes flowcharts and spider diagrams making this the ideal tool to enable students to organise study notes in a systematic and effective way.

2Type is possibly one of the most underrated yet valuable resources available in Purple Mash. To learn to use a keyboard correctly should be the start of any lesson and any digital learning journey, and when using 2Type they learn more than just how to type efficiently!
