Education materials

To develop your exploration of the term education materials, visiting BT's web site dedicated to its campaign for a better world should be rewarding. Make use of the link above, or you'll find a hot-linked button below to make a start NOW.

What is BT is passionate about? Communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. Possessing the ability to communicate effectively is central to becoming a flourishing employee, student, parent or citizen. That's why we're determined to make absolutely sure that the UK's young people have the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills and get a start in life that's as strong as possible.

Countless research projects have shown that being able to express yourself well, and with equal clarity to understand what other people are saying to you is a crucially important thing to be able to do. Having good interpersonal communication skills is strongly linked to positive social behaviour, mental and physical well-being, educational achievement, and the ability of an individual to get employment. It means that this is an ideal place to conduct your research*.

However, research also indicates that the need for the development of communication skills is more vital now than it has ever been previously. A range of causes have been alluded to; including too much time in front of the TV and games machine; the decline of talk within the busy modern family; the sound-bite culture of 21st century media; and a scarcity of role models who young people can admire and respect. The BT Better World Campaign's site is therefore an ideal place to continue your investigation into the term education materials.

You will soon see that the BT Better World Campaign web site includes a wealth of material designed to help you get the most from communication. The younger generation will find games which teach about better communication in ways that are both entertaining and educational. Online animations and videos will show you everything from how to ensure your friendships are rewarding to how to do well in an interview situation.

As a teacher you're likely to be interested in material designed to support the teaching of the speaking and listening part of the national curriculum. There are also details of how to apply for the financial awards that BT offers to schools. The site doesn't forget parents either, with part of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to tips and hints about handling some of the trickier aspects of being a parent. In addition to those activities which can be enjoyed on the site itself, you'll find an extensive catalogue of literature and DVDs which you can order at a cost of no more than the price of post and packing.
