The purpose of this seminar is to look at the educational possibilities that museum websites have to offer both classroom teaching and as a preperation for a class visit to museum or historic house. It will cover history, art and design and citizenship at both Key Stages 2 and 3.
As a history teacher what would you hope to gain from attendance at any of these seminars? What resources do you use to embed ICT into the curriculum? Are there other aspects of teaching and learning this aspect of the curriculum, and the role ICT has to play, which could be covered within a future BETT seminar programme? As a subject, is History adequately covered at BETT? Please post your views to the wider BETT community.
