Free Memory Stick

Memory Sticks 4 Teachers is a major new ICT initiative taking place within the UK education sector.
The project has been developed to support teachers and educators in addressing their ever-increasing workloads by funding the provision of 750,000 USB memory sticks across the UK. The memory sticks have a capacity of 2 GB and include free educational resources for teachers to utilise, through a user-friendly embedded interface that appears on screen immediately as the memory stick is plugged in. These free resources cover all major subject areas and include lesson plans and ideas, worksheets and much more.

There are many other benefits too:

• Teachers can save work to take home easily and efficiently.
• Free embedded Educational Resources
• A calendar that teachers can utilise and update.
• Education Directory
• Links to select websites
• Link to a supporting web channel with additional resources and downloads.
• Ongoing savings for schools as use of consumables drops dramatically.
• Environmental benefits of reduction in waste.
• Teachers can share resources easily with colleagues.

You can register at http://www.memory4teachers.co.uk/teachers_registration.asp BUT your memory stick must be delivered to a named educational establishment. So if you work for Adult Education in the community and would like your memory stick delivered here for you please use postcode GL1 2TP. I have just ordered mine and will let you know how long it takes to come, and what resources it contains.
