• Mark (S4): “I really enjoyed making the video and it was an experience I won’t forget. It was a difficult challenge but that was a good thing because it forced me to be really organised. It was hard work but well worth it.”
• Bryan (S4): “I’m really pleased and proud that the finished video looks so good. It’s a nice feeling to know I’ve passed my NAB and made something so useful for other pupils in the school at the same time.”

Literacy Circles using a Wiki
• St Ninians High School S2 Class – 10-12 week project
• The premise of the project was that pupils would read historical fiction, the class was split into 5 groups and each group given a different time period and different books. Pupils were introduced to the wiki and given a set of instructions on what was to be expected from them from both the literacy and wiki aspects.
