We see the Internet as an enabler:
- Enabling learners to communicate with each other across the world - effectively
- Enabling pupils to publish their work to a vast audience - instantly
- Enabling learners to find and fetch information from every corner of the earth - painlessly
- Enabling organisations to communicate with young people and educators - efficiently
