With learners
• individual storytelling
• group reporting

Benefits in an LLN context…
• You do not need to be an experienced writer to create them or a reader to enjoy them
• Give LLN learners a ‘voice’ – they become publishers
• Fun, engaging, motivating – in fact addictive!

‘just in time – just for me’
‘learning by stealth’
