1. myclasses A New Product Within the myinternet Portal for Curriculum and Pastoral Use

2. myclasses n We have conducted two successful trials (with 20 schools) to date with a third trial timetabled for November. n Successful implementation of myclasses is a result of schools having to undertake a five- day training program first before the product is made available to them. n Mentoring by past trainees to new trainees and on-going teacher support via phone, listserver and a web site are important features of the myclasses roll out.

3. myclasses n myclasses is a K-12 virtual learning environment- a product suitable for both Primary and Secondary schools, which enables interaction between teachers and students. n Students can gain access at school, and students (and parents) can gain access and share in the learning and teaching experience at home or anywhere, anytime via the web.

4. myclasses enables us to: Create class pages, containing useful properties for curriculum and pastoral use; Create eLearning Folios (eLFs)- online learning tasks in which access can be given to a particular subject class group, home room or Year Group. The learning tasks created by a teacher can also be shared to other classes or groups within the school or to all teachers throughout the deployment. Gain access to other portols and storage sites, eg The Learning Federation exchange (the Learning Objects), and the EdNA, and Google repositories.

5. myclasses n myclasses is a Learning Management System (LMS), which includes an ability to store and manage learning objects. n It is a 'grass roots' LMS providing inexperienced teachers in the use of technology with a number of learning task templates so they can construct, store, manage and share tasks online with ease, without having to learn 'how to programme‘ … to encode or do script.
