After marking the attempts at poetry written by earnest and self-conscious pupils I should think writing end of term school reports comes a close second in terms of both the cringe and mirth factors. Still, with a system such as Matrep, teachers will no longer have to continuously hand write comments like "must try harder" or "is a disruptive influence" if they add them to the site’s ˈpre-filledˈ feature.

In a certain month every year the newsagents around the world have been engulfed by students and parents (mostly parents, I might add) waiting for the latest issue of the guide to Universities and Colleges to ensure they collectively choose the most appropriate educational opportunity available. They would walk out of the shop with a thick book which was the equivalent of a small forest. These days, however, there are many online options too. Petap is an free education guide for accredited online and campus degrees, schools, colleges and universities across the USA and Canada. According to a recent ... Read more
Well they’ve certainly got the name of this one right, it made me yawn just reading the description. I’m all for research into anything that might be of use to people’s wellbeing but this one doesn’t seem to have any real purpose apart from presenting you with a graph that will prove to your friends that you weren’t lying when you said you were having trouble sleeping! The app isn’t difficult to use, you sign in and then enter the details of your sleep experience. Having said that I’m not sure how you note the exact time you actually fell asleep as ... Read more

My word how school life has changed! At the risk of giving my age away I was at school in the days before even photocopiers were a widespread part of a teacher’s kit. I can still remember the smell of the duplicating ink on the History hand-outs. As for the excuses about why a particularly nasty piece of homework was missing well, leaving it on the bus was about as original as I got. It follows then that a site like Schoolrack would have seemed as far away as a manned expedition to Mars but educational software has now got one ... Read more
Well here is a familiar problem that we all have to face it one time or another. For many different reasons we are required to keep recepts for our purchases. It might be for taxation reasons, for claiming back work expenses or a shared expense with a housemate. Now if you are anything like me I've got some in a drawer under the computer, some on the kitchen noticeboard and some in my wallet. Oh, and then there's a couple in my pocket. OneReceipt is a free personal finance organize tool where you can keep all your receipts - whether ... Read more

We live in slightly more enlightened times these days when it comes to some types of crime and for a lot of misdemeanours a brief educational course rather than a spell in prison is often the outcome of a Court hearing. This one, as the title clearly indicates, is aimed at stopping those found guilty of theft from re-offending. The meaning of the word theft in this instance covers ... Read more
