Clyde Waterfront, with partner Innovation Digital has launched a new educational website. Communities and Sports Minister Stewart Maxwell MSP announced the online resource for teachers which will be used to connect pupils with the urban regeneration taking place along the River Clyde.
The new website is an offshoot of the main
Clyde Waterfront website. Both sites have been developed by Glasgow integrated web solutions and consultancy provider Innovation Digital.
The site provides:
- A curriculum based teaching resource based on the River Clyde.
- 200 lesson plans linked to the Scottish Government's Enterprise in Education programme.
- A way of connecting children with the present developments along the river as well as the past.
- An exciting and relevant context for learning.
This is the first time a national regeneration project has been used to create a comprehensive teaching resource. Linked to the Scottish Government's Determined to Succeed: Enterprise in Education programme, business and education work together to give children and young people positive attitudes to work and life.
