Teaching ideas
The materials available from the website include news articles, fact sheets and an image bank covering a wide range of topics which can be used in subjects right across the curriculum.
There are also cross-curricular teaching hints to give teachers ideas as to how they might use these resources within the classroom. Teachers can even submit their own ideas of ways to use the materials.
More to come
This resource is the first step of the London 2012 Education Programme. In the lead up to 2012 they aim to deliver a comprehensive programme which will encompass a wide range of projects and initiatives and engage children and young people across the UK and the world.
