An interactive maths activity using Google Maps has now gone live. Bradford Maths maps was created by Tim Bleazard of Curriculum ICT with support from Mark Hattersley, Education Bradford Maths consultant. The site has also had questions contributed by Maths subject coordinators from schools across Bradford. The idea came from Tom Barrett, Deputy Headteacher in Nottingham who runs the http://edte.ch/blog/ web site. You can access the Bradford Maths Maps plus Edinburgh Maths Maps, shapes in Paris, measures in Madrid, data handling in Nottingham and addition in Adelaide by visiting http://edte.ch/blog/maths-maps/

1 to 1 Netbook Project LaunchPosted in Mobile Learning on December 03, 2010 by James Langley This week I was fortunate enough to be involved in launching a 1 to 1 netbook project at Ley Top Primary School. Every child in Year 5 and 6 have been supplied with a netbook that they can use at home and must bring in to school every day. This project has been started due to the rising pupil numbers and lack of room within the school. When the school becomes 2 form intake the ICT suite will need to be used as a classroom. The long term intention is to roll out the project across KS2.
My role in the launch was explain to the families and pupils how the
AUP
(Acceptable Use Policy) should be adhered to and what were the consequences of a breach of the AUP. I also outlined specific e-Safety examples that may occur as a result of greater access to these learning tools at home i.e. filtering, social networking etc. The devices have been installed with eSafe - a managed solution that reports eSafety issues to the school's e-Safety officer. We will report upon the success of this product at a later date.
