Teachers that keep an educational blog and wiki can support students with diverse needs. Blogs and wikis provide a platform for teachers to personalise their curriculum and deliver differentiated learning. The variety of learning activities can be adapted to suit different age groups or interests of the students. By having the ability to contribute their own ideas the students' ownership of the blog and wiki is significant and gives them an audience and purposeful writing opportunities. By sharing their work in the digital realm their engagement in all learning areas is magnified and relevant to today's learning. I will present my blog (R-7)and Art wiki (3-7) and others to demonstrate how one can be set up and maintained to support creative and effective learning.
