Espresso Training Cumbria Lancashire Education Online Summer Term 05 Key Stage 2

Aim of session To introduce Key Stage 2 teachers to Espresso and to update them with the latest site developments.

Espresso Update Cost of the product 1 st April 2006 £4 per pupil Could be subsidised by CLEO and be as little as £2.00 per pupil if 50% of the schools across Cumbria and Lancashire re-subscribe.

There is no commitment for schools to have to do this. CLEO will be contacting schools later this year to see if you would like to subscribe for the following year. (April 2006/2007) You can use e-learning credits if you wish to re-subscribe for a further year.

Independent Television News (ITN) has made a strategic investment in Espresso. ITN manages the world’s largest video collection, comprising over 680,000 hours of footage. It has exclusive selling rights for the ITN, Reuters, British Pathe, Granada, Channel 4 and Fox News video libraries. ITN and Espresso join forces!
