Learning with broadband
The internet is a powerful learning tool and a massive resource.
You and your family can find help with anything from learning
vocabulary to revising for GCSEs and A levels. And broadband allows
children to get the most out of the internet. Pages load in no time
at all, video and sound files load quickly, and downloading
information is done in seconds. Don’t let your connection speed
slow down your child’s education!
There are hundreds of websites packed with features, articles
and other resources to help your child at whatever level of study
they are at. Here are just a few:
The BBC’s GCSE site has a wealth of revision and study aids to
help teenagers prepare for their exams. It offers guides on how to
create your own revision timetable, revision topics on all subjects
and expert advice on how to make sure you get the most out of your
revision.
This site offers help with GCSEs, AS and A levels and even
offers career advice. Students can even register for a free email
newsletter with the latest information on how to prepare for
exams.
UCAS is an invaluable resource for teenagers deciding what they
want to study and where they want to go to university. It’s got
everything a student needs to get them started on the next phase of
their lives.
