TNMOC wins BETT Award for "child-centred" History of Computing curriculum resource

3 February 2014

An online video resource for schools about the history of computing has won a prestigious BETT (British Educational Technology and Training) award. The unprecedented resource, created by the London Grid for Learning (LGfL) in partnership with The National Museum of Computing and E2bN, is now available online to approximately 25,000 UK schools connected to the National Education Network. Already it is one of the most popular resources within the LGfL resource portfolio.

The online resource is particularly relevant to schools as the ICT curriculum moves towards a focus on computing. It is thought to be first BETT Award-winning resource to have focussed on computing history.
