This group exists for Janet users looking for sessions, lectures, and events being offered by content providers like museums, archives and organisations like distance learning providers. For schools wishing to find and/or book sessions with content providers, please visit the new content provider web site. The new website is a dedicated resource for all teaching staff that showcases sessions available from Janet registered Content Providers. The functionality of this dynamic website makes it easier for you to search for sessions by subject, key stage or by content provider. You can also set up tailored RSS feeds and find out about upcoming sessions. If you have any questions, please contact Phyllis Callinan on 01235 822263 or email vtas@ja.net

Wardown Park Museum is a local history museum in Luton, Bedfordshire. We have a successful schools programme that offers a broad range of cross-curricular engaging activities and resources that build on and extend pupils' classroom learning. Through video conferencing we hope to be able to bring our approach to schools from further afield.

Our video conferences are offered as part of a short unit of work that complements popular KS2 history topics in school but also offers opportunities to support literacy, drama, thinking skills and SEAL. We aim to take the conference beyond an 'ask the expert' interview and engage children with a narrative to which they can contribute through their existing knowledge, questioning skills and imagination.

See here for more information on all their sessions.
