English and ICT: resources
Start here: ICT primers for secondary English teachers and students
These documents are short-lists of sites for teachers looking for teaching resources
and enrichment materials on the Internet. From Shakespeare to
podcasting, Gutenberg to Gifted and Talented, we think you'll find it
useful. Help us improve it by sending your comments and suggestions. Please pass them on to colleagues too.

Useful ICT-based resources for GCSE
Are you looking for resources for your GCSE classes? Take a look at the new NATE resource grids for GCSE English and English Literature specifications - and help us make these even better!
The grids, which are free to download, list a range of ICT-based
resources. Many of the resources are free, though some require
subscription or the purchase of a CD-ROM. Please take a look and send
in corrections and further suggestions. We hope that you will find
these lists useful - and that you will want to share in the ongoing
task of populating the grids with links to good-quality resources. In
due course the resources will be listed in searchable database on this
site, to make it easier to find what you want.
For technical
reasons the grids, which are in spreadsheet format, cannot be
downloaded from this page. Please click on the link to go the English and ICT site, where they can be found. Please send any suggestions and feedback to the team by email to Tom Rank.
This work has been funded by Becta; we are grateful for their support.
