"What' s great about using a tool like this is that it makes students written work much moreaccessible, they can integrate high quality images with the work and it remains as atangible record of their progress and achievements. It's also very content focused andthere is no fuss with formating or different fonts. It's just about the writing." (Peachy,2010)
