Who is Localbiz for?
It is a flexible learning programme that can be student directed or teacher led, and run at either primary or secondary school—from year 6 to 6th form.
It can be delivered to small groups, or launched across a whole year or offered as a whole school programme.
The activities can be combined to create interesting learning programmes meeting a wide variety of educational needs and learning outcomes.
Young people can be encouraged by members within their community to undertake the creation of the community website and then go onto to help manage the content, style and graphics, using easy to use software.
The outcome is a new style of community resource which is carbon friendly, always up to date and, most important, useful and interesting to all its community members.
Students
Students are encouraged to make contact with businesses, work with the PTA and all other not for profit organisations within the community.
