| The Birmingham
Partnership for Change (BPC) and the National Literacy Association have
sponsored this project. NGfL Innovations funding was also secured to purchase 120 Psion 5MX palm top computers
(complete with travel modems) which have been given to Year 5
children. The aim is to raise literacy levels in
African-Caribbean boys, however all students in the cohort have
benefited from this initiative. A key principle was personal
one to one ownership of the portable technology.
This project has been fully evaluated by the University
of Central England and the report provides additional evidence of the
impact of ICT on learning, but don't take our word for it, a video of this existing project is available here.
