In 1997 the “New Labour Party” came to power in the UK. Since their election they have announced spending of over one billion pounds on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Education. Most of this investment centres on the National Grid for Learning (NGfL). Two years after NGfL’s launch, this paper examines the background to, and introduction of, the NGfL in the UK, and how this investment will support school teachers. The paper tends to focus on how teachers might use the NGfL to relieve their administrative burden, rather than the features of the NGfL that might be used in the classroom to teach pupils and aid their learning. The paper also reports on teachers’ initial reactions to the opportunities provided for electronic communications. |
