[Year 12 IT Apps] Student diaries

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Thanks Rob, would it have helped if you had a robust online system for
recording events and reflections with a 1:1 deployment system?

I must admit I also forgot to put my name down for a teacher chronicle so I
need to think fast and perhaps go digital come 2012 with something on my
iPhone or iPad this year (suggestions welcome)
