The Monster E-mail Project - Background |
| Alison Trelfer, St Mary's Primary School, Dover |
| Background This project was made possible with the help of Class Two (Year R/1) with their teacher Mrs Thurman at St Mary's Primary School, and Class One (Year R) with Mr Storey at Sherington Infant School near Milton Keynes. The project was a continuation of an established link with the school that I had made during the first year of owning a BECTa laptop. During this year we had individual children making personal contact through e-mails, the use of picture and sound attachments and conventional mail. In July the two classes met at London Zoo. This was sponsored by donations from BECTa, Volkswagen Audi Group and the school PTAs. BECTa complimented our involvement and the children's positive attitudes to a new medium of communication.
