An ancient edublog
Excellent news that a project my dad has been working on has received an extension: We are now going to put a computer , with connectivity, into the house of all Year 3 children linked to three schools in Aston (210 pupils) and some year 7 (probably 90). It’s a really interesting concept (for me) …
