The World Wide Web is a huge source of information, resources, ideas and help. It is also being used by the government as an integral part of their education policy, not only for teachers, but also for managers, governors, and parents.
Do not just take a look at these sites once, and then forget about them. Develop a habit of accessing them regularly, and take time to explore them, one part at a time.
Clicking any of these links will automatically open a new window.
