Over 100 Internet Lessons Taught Last Term
|
Over 100 lessons, which actively used internet as an information
source, were taught in Letchworth Schools during the autumn term. These
lessons ranged from creative writing and IT skills for year 7 pupils to
A-level work in Art, Biology, Economics, Business Studies, French and German.
Funding for this exciting project has come from the Letchworth Garden
City Heritage Foundation and our partners in the project are Research Machines
and CableTel.

New Pioneer Group Formed
|
Seven more secondary school teachers have agreed to surf the net at
home in their own time in order to explore how internet might be used as
a resource in their lessons. These teachers have taken over computers loaned
to colleagues who were in the original pioneer group.
All curriculum areas have now been covered.
