use of, the latest education technology by pupils and
adults.

levels through the use of that technology.

innovation and new ways of teaching and learning. |

accommodation.

resource provided mainly by networks of PCs.

technology teaching and learning aids such as
interactive white boards, video editing, video
conferencing etc.
| Access to variety of
software and courses not normally available to
schools.
| Access to careers
information, education and guidance. |
| Access to facilities
outside normal school hours. |
| | | | |
City Learning Centres will:
| Be available to student
and staff from the network schools through a booking
system.
| Work not only with the
secondary schools in their network, but also with
other City secondary schools and the wider community.

enable students to integrate work done in the CLC with
work in their own schools.

CLCs and partners such as FE colleges, libraries, and
