Padlet is a virtual bulletin board created online (not an app).  You create it and your students post to it.  Think of poster paper and sticky notes.  The uses are endless.  I love to use it in my classroom as an exit ticket activity--or even just to check in.  I also use it in my professional development trainings.  I found a great visual with lots of ideas from @simplysuzy and http://blogs.falmouth.k12.ma.us/simplysuzy/2014/02/02/padleting-together/.  Give this a try, you will love it!

"Non-fiction texts govern as much as 90% of the reading and writing done by literate adults and comprise more than 70% of standardized assessments." -Tony Stead and Linda Hoyt If you haven't heard of Newsela, I am about to make your day.  While reading adoptions are providing more non-fiction reading choices, there are just not enough. Newsela is your solution. It provides a huge library of well-written current event articles at 5 different reading levels. So, the entire class is reading about the same information, just at each student's individual Lexile reading level!  As the teacher, you can assign certain articles (and reading levels) to certain students.  Each student can then take a quiz on his/her reading. All of this is free to use.  If you wish to pay for the pro subscription, you have even more options.  Amazing!

Now here is a brilliant design highly lauded by the design media back in 2012/2013 that for some reason has yet to see the light of day. Which is a pity really as this has the potential to provide the answer to a number of student final year project ideas. For instance: [Idea by Kkie21] "I was thinking about writing a program that would be put onto a USB stick and then once connected to a

I haven't produced breakout web-links to the other forum discussions as this post is only raising a point about Metrology and standardisation in digital forensics. A recent forum question posted by a PhD student sought ideas for a research area. I suggested the following: You may wish to consider the process of: (a) examination of mobile/feature/smart phones, embedded devices etc with respect

A newcomer to mobile phone examination asked a question on another forum: "My first question is a general one: how can I know that the data I get in an extraction is everything that was on the device? For example, I recently acquired an image from a ZTE Z667G with prior knowledge that there were messages between 2 subjects using Facebook Messenger. The device was not able to be rooted with

 Research and development tools can provide students, newcomers and experienced examiners in the mobile forensics community with practical experience and exposure to logically recovered data isolating the various types of recovered data through a single GUI. Additionally, such tools help develop analytical and assessment skillsets. iPhoneReader.exe is one such tool that can help you do that.

Visitors to trewmte.blogspot.com may recall a discussion thread posted back in 2012 regarding a JTAG Tutorial http://trewmte.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/jtag-tutorial.html. The purpose of that thread was to enable students, newcomers and experienced mobile/smart phone examiners to get a feel for JTAG before undertaking such examinations or purchasing tools etc. Today, Kevin Swartz from
