This year’s conference focuses on the wealth of ICT resources and opportunities available to all schools in Northumberland to support teaching and learning.
The seminar sessions explore a wide range of software applications, resources, online content and learning opportunities....
….. a conference with lots of ideas, lots of resources and lots of opportunities to get involved and try something new. The Big Picture has something to offer for all teachers in all phases – not just the ICT teacher – make sure you don’t miss out!
