Memory4Teachers is a major ICT initiative that I've written about before. It involves the FREE provision of USB memory sticks for all...

  • Head Teachers,
  • Teachers,
  • School Business Managers and
  • all support staff.

The memory sticks feature...

  • full password security,
  • virus protection and
  • encryption software.

In addition the revolutionary memory sticks feature a bespoke user interface specifically designed to support teachers and schools on a daily basis. The user interface provides access to various software applications including...

  • a diary,
  • timetable,
  • lesson planner,
  • calculator and even
  • an MP3 music player.

Furthermore the interface is pre programmed with educational content and resources that support all of the national curriculum subject areas. Memory4Teachers refer to this technology as a Portable Learning Environment as it enables teachers to conveniently carry a vast amount of educational content that can be used effectively in lessons on any...

  • PC,
  • laptop or
  • interactive whiteboard.

In addition to providing their portable technology for FREE to the education sector Memory4Teachers also provide FREE online storage space for all of their users so that they can "back up" their memory sticks and store additional data securely online.

On the Memory4Teachers website visitors will also find a huge array of educational content and resources that can be downloaded to the memory sticks royalty free.

I opted to register online to download resources and have access to the 50MB FREE online storage area, so I can't comment on the Portable Learning Environment. The resources, labelled as Primary/Secondary, could be used with other learners especially in Functional Skills; probably the most useful section is the wide range of links to other resources.
