Development of ActiveBYTE materials

The SSE eLIM Education Technology Team developed the original BYTE e-Sense Awards in 2012. As new online opportunities have emerged, and challenges for learners have increased, we have developed a fresh approach that focuses on active learning and using pupils' experiences to teach online safety. The new ActiveBYTES have been written by the eLIM Educational Technology team, and we would like to thank Beech Grove Primary School for enabling Matt Mustafic to be part of this process.    

Our thanks also goes to Selworthy and Fiveways Special Schools who worked with us to update the materials for learners on pscales.  

The ActiveBYTES scheme is available to all schools who subscribe to the SSE eLIM Education Technology Team.
Don't subscribe? You can purchase an annual subscription to the ActiveBYTES for £165 a year or as part of access to all resources on our website for £295 a year.
