Well, Tony Blair is moving on to pastures new, but politics apart, his vision of the National Grid for Learning (NGfL) has made quite an impact in schools. Children can now access on-line resources that were unheard of ten years ago via broadband links!
Multimedia is now a way of life for most kids.
Remote telescopes like the Bradford Telescope, JMU (John Moores University) and Faulkes can now be accessed and controlled from the classroom. Hubble images, S@N and NASA Television can be viewed on large screens and Interactive Whiteboards in Primary School classrooms. Children can research for information on the internet and write reports and produce Powerpoint Presentations about their findings.
I wish I had all this when I was at school!
Hand on heart...you got it right!
Technology Rules...OK!
