I sometimes forget that GLOW
is part of the National Education Network and I needed the big sign (as shown
above) to remind me about this at BETT 2009.
‘The National Educational Network is a
dedicated, educationally focused resource for teaching and learning without
constraints of time or location. Harnessing our unique expertise, we enable a
safe, secure, collaborative and creative learning experience for pupils,
teachers and parents.’
One good thing about the National
Educational Network that people don’t realise is that it contains links to a
huge amount of educational resources for all aspects of the curriculum. It also
has a useful e-safety audit tool.
The resources are all categorised by age / stage and subject:
By following the links I
re-visited a few little gems that I had forgotten about including:
- The
Open Weather Forecast – Move the dials on the weather forecast to
develop numeracy skills.
- The
World of Sport – Geographical activities with a sporting theme.
- The
Far Away Fruit Salad – Get your five a day with a geographical theme.
- The
Climate Change Portal – A One stop shop for climate change resources.
- Study Skills - How to become an effective learner and manage your own learning.
What’s your favorite
resource from the National Education Network?
