Deal adds to training courses on offer at education distie

Steljes has signed an exclusive agreement with Do-Be, a creator of multimedia education materials, to offer its Teach-IT training modules.

Catherine Howard, head of training at Steljes, claimed in a PR statement that schools are "eager" to understand the impact of technology and social media on the education environment.

"Our agreement with Do-Be will help teachers fully appreciate the technology they already have in their classroom and become proficient in their use of free online resources to enhance lesson content. The training courses are platform-agnostic so can be used by any educational establishment," she was quoted as saying.

According to Do-Be's website, Teach-IT aims to help teachers learn how to use IT in their lessons. It incorporates free web tools such as Google Earth with a view to encouraging teachers to "introduce new ways of learning and create exciting content".
