Off The Internet For Everyone

Off the Internet for Everyone

Internet for All

The internet is a vast resource of information for all pupils, and this new technology is just as exciting for children with moderate or severe learning difficulties. The authors of this book, whose own school's website won awards from BECTa and Microsoft, clearly explain to even the most non-technologically minded how to get students started on the internet, and how to progress to releasing its full learning potential. They also incorporate examples and principles of good inclusive practice throughout. This timely and accessible book will be essential reading for all teachers in mainstream or special schools who wish to unlock the educational capabilities of the web for their students, whatever their ability.
