Getting the most from E2BN: free training opportunity for all schools

^{21 Feb 2008}

The East of England Broadband Network (E2BN) would like to offer your school the opportunity to take advantage of a series of free workshops being held at venues around the region. All teachers and support staff in primary, middle, upper, high and special schools within the E2BN region are eligible to take part in these workshops.

The sessions will be focused on making schools more aware of the freely available content which E2BN has created for educational use. The programme will also include an opportunity to become familiar with the wide range of resources available to schools via the National Education Network (NEN). For instance, you may not be aware that E2BN has created a gallery of high-quality images and video clips which is freely available to schools, that West Midlands Net has produced a site looking at Climate Change, that Cumbria and Lancashire has developed a resource to support teachers wishing to work with animation and that E2BN is putting together a free online resource to support the development of students’ thinking and discussion skills.

The session will give you an opportunity to explore all of the above and more. Courses will be either half-day or twilight sessions. Half-day sessions will run from 9.30 – 12.00 and 1.30 – 4.00 respectively and twilights from 4.00 – 6.00pm.
