Finding a Way: Bowbridge and Great Bardfield

Synopsis: This programme looks at two schools that are taking part in a pilot scheme where children as young as eight years old are given their own laptops and are being taught sophisticated programmes that are more commonly used in the workplace. The laptops are not just used in the classroom, the children take them home as well and are encouraged to share their knowledge and learning with the family. Two Professors of Psychology are invited to visit the schools and assess how the technology impacts on the children’s learning process.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
