LEARNZ

I've recently had an email from Paul Millican to promote this site. Paul said: //We provide virtual field trips free to primary and secondary schools in New Zealand. They encompass Science, Social Sciences and the Arts.// //Obviously I am convinced that this is a great idea (otherwise I wouldn't work here) but I'd like you to get a feel for what we offer too so that you become convinced. If you haven't heard of LEARNZ before then take a few minutes to explore our website. You will need a teacher registration number if you want to log in to any of the field trips as our ministry funding requires us to restrict our availability to NZ teachers and schools.// //If you want a personal contact here e-mail paul@learnz.org.nz. //
