Home Access Awards 2009
The e-Learning Foundation has launched the ‘Home Access Awards’ to recognise those schools that demonstrate excellence in the implementation and development of “Home Access” initiatives.
The e-Learning Foundation Home Access Awards are open to all schools across the country who have instigated successful e-learning projects to provide children with home access to technology for their studies. There are also awards for the most innovative Local Authority, the most supportive supplier and an individual award for the most outstanding personal contribution.
These awards have been designed to recognise and reward excellence in leadership and showcase initiatives and projects which have been set up to provide disadvantaged children across the country with access to technology for use when and where they require it for their studies.
Access to technology at home has been proven to significantly influence educational outcomes, yet there are still over a million children in the UK without home access to a PC and the internet for their studies. The e-Learning Foundation Home Access Awards will spotlight bold innovative thinking in the field of e-learning, whilst underlining the ever present digital divide in this country.
The full list of the 2009 finalists and winners can now be seen. The awards were announced by Martha Lane Fox at the "Engaging with Home Access" conference in November at One Great George Street in Westminster.
