Aimed at Key Stage 1 and 2, these weather-based interactive videoconferencing sessions are run by Paul Gross at Metlearn. Paul is an experienced meteorologist, who has previously worked as the Education Services Manager for the Met Office. Metlearn is the newest organisation to become a registered content provider with the Janet Videoconferencing service.

As you may know Virtually University sets up videoconferences between schools and universities around the country which are designed to inform and inspire young people's choices of Higher Education.

We are currently planning an English Language/English Literature session with The University of Liverpool for Year 12 students and they are very keen to work with inner city schools. These schools can be anywhere in the UK and the session, which will combine skills and subject development, will be devised based on conversations with interested schools.

Megaconference Junior 2013 will take place on 2 May and will involve many schools from around the world, including the UK, Greece, Croatia, the US, China, Japan, Taiwan, Hawaii and Australia.

If your school would like to view the event then please send an email to vtas@ja.net

I can then send you details that will allow you to view the live web stream. You will need to have Internet access for this.
