This document discusses how to encourage students to become confident, connected, actively involved lifelong learners as outlined in the New Zealand curriculum. It provides information on different multimedia tools and apps that teachers can use to help students create media projects, including Comic Life, Voicethread, iMovie, and Animoto. These media projects allow students to demonstrate their writing and thinking in a more engaging way compared to traditional writing assignments.
