December issue

Issue 23

Welcome to your December e-mail bulletin. The festive season is now in full swing, so we take a look at how teachers can unleash pupils’ creativity by getting them to design Christmas cards and raise some money for a good cause. We also see how Harry Potter translates into Hindi and take a look at what went on at the D&T with ICT Education Show last month. Did the showcases there show what classrooms will look like in the future?

We hope you enjoy this issue, happy reading.
